Now PM joins TikTok ahead of China trip - despite platform being barred from government devices
Keir Starmer has joined TikTok as he prepares for a crucial trip to China - despite the site still being restricted on government devices.
The PM has launched an account on the fast-growing social media platform with a video of himself and wife Victoria in Downing Street.
It shows Sir Keir awkwardly urging people to 'follow me' as he goes out of the famous black door to turn on the Christmas lights.
Sir Keir 'awkwardly urging people'? He does everything awkwardly... as far as we know.
On a more serious note, China does seem to be the Establishment's government model. Not in detail but in terms of a determined focus on comprehensive control by a more formally defined upper echelon.
He's trying to institute a Chinese style social credit system as a backup to a socialist, collectivist society in Britain. Remains to be seen, how successful he will be.
ReplyDeleteTammly - I agree, that's the idea behind it. Endemic bungling may be our best hope.
ReplyDeleteDisney called and they want their animatronic robot back.
ReplyDeleteDJ - he just has to complete his Plan for Change, then he'll be ready for spare parts.
ReplyDeleteOn Tik Tok ... wonder if he has a choreographed dance ready for the flu season.
ReplyDeleteJames - I hope not, that would be too much, I'd rather catch flu.
