Trump shares SNL UK sketch mocking British prime minister

Sky One aired the first episode of Saturday Night Live UK on Saturday, March 21. Reviews were mixed, but the cold open found at least one fan: Donald Trump shared the first half of the sketch on his Truth Social account. The politically themed cold open cast George Fouracres as Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Hammed Animashaun as Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy, portraying Starmer as nervous and indecisive: "Golly!

What if Donald shouts at me? What do I say, Lammy?" At one point Starmer picks up the phone, hears Trump say "Hello," and hangs up in a panic: "Oh sod that scary, scary, wonderful president! Why is he so difficult to talk to?" The version Trump posted ends with Starmer declaring he'll "do anything, except take a stand." Trump omitted a later bit in which Starmer, in a voice note, suggests they take a break like Friends: "Not forever, just until you’ve got all this war out of your system," Starmer stammers.

"Listen, we want different things. I know how badly you want to start World War III, and that’s great.
