Clarkson's Farm star Jeremy Clarkson has taken a savage swipe at Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner for trying to be "relatable," saying he wants people who can do the job of running the country instead. The 65-year-old pointed out that the Prime Minister frequently refers to the fact that his father was a tool-maker in an attempt to show his working-class roots. He quipped, "He sure was."

He then laid into Rayner, who is currently at the centre of a storm after being accused of dodging stamp duty when purchasing a holiday home. Describing her as "the undisputed queen of all this guff," he said she is "constantly at pains to point out that at 16 she was a single mum in a council flat."

"To reinforce this view, we saw pictures of her last week in an inflatable canoe, with a tattoo and a vape. And were we impressed? Well, I wasn’t," he asserted.

"I don’t want it to be led by someone without a clue about how the real world and business works. What we need is leaders with some personal experience of running a company," Jeremy opined in his column in The Sun.

He pointed out that none of the government officials have any experience running a business and, therefore, don't understand how things work.

He then accused the government of spending on hare-brained schemes while believing the public would be happy about them because they were relatable.

"But I don’t want to relate to the Prime Minister," he said. "He or she shouldn’t be like you or me. They should be a bit weird. A bit of a swot. The greatest Prime Minister in my lifetime was Margaret Thatcher and no one related to her," he concluded.

Jeremy's latest scathing remarks come just weeks after he admitted he "hates" Keir Starmer because he is "so flippant about farmers".

He made the comment when Times Radio host Peter Caldwell asked if the Prime Minister was is still banned from his pub The Farmer's Dog.

In response, the celebrity farmer said: "Oh God, yes. I hate very few people in life but I do hate that man. He's awful. He's definitely banned.

"He's just so flippant about farmers. Whenever you ask him, it's just like 'Well, who cares about them?' And that's one of the things I really dislike."
