Keir Starmer has labelled Johnny Mercer a 'silly sod' for comparing new Labour MP Keir Mather, 25, to the Inbetweeners
Strolling along the pitch at Selby Town Football Club and surrounded by media, Sir Keir told the new MP: "There was some silly sod on the radio, on the television last night saying you were only 25.
The Inbetweeners, which aired in the late 2000s, follows four friends at school who end up in awkward and embarrassing situations as they try to enter adulthood. "Personally, I don't think that is conducive to good electoral representation and I'm more than entitled to have that view." "One of the good things about our Parliament is that we have people entering Parliament for the first time in their 20s but also in their 60s, from all kinds of backgrounds, and I think that's a strength."Mr Mercer, a former British Army officer from 2002 to 2013 and MP for Plymouth Moor View, has previously been involved in several public arguments with well-known individuals including TV presenter Carol Vorderman.
