‘Saturday Night Live U.K.’ opened with another Keir Starmer sketch for its third episode, with the British Prime Minister calling upon the services of the country’s biggest celebrities – soccer star Harry Kane, actor Olivia Colman and cartoon character Peppa Pig – to cheer up the nation amid fears of war and a cost of living crisis.

“Look, I know I’m not inspiring,” said Starmer, played by ‘SNL U.K.’ castmember George Fouracres. “When I applied to join the Samaritans, I brought the vibe down so much that the interviewer called the Samaritans.”
