A Conservative MP has claimed Sir Keir Starmer just gives him a “glare, stare, or blank expression” whenever he holds a door open for the Labour leader in Westminster.

Simon Jupp, who represents East Devon, made the bad manners accusation on X, formerly known as Twitter, and said “most people signal their thanks” but “never Sir Keir”.

An indignant Mr Jupp tagged Sir Keir in his post and wrote: “On several occasions, I have held the door open on the Parliamentary estate for Sir Keir Starmer and did so moments ago, as I try to do for everyone.

“Most people signal their thanks, but never Sir Keir. I just get a glare, stare, or blank expression. Good manners cost nothing.”…..

Quite a lot of “interesting” comment on social media including:

“You’re a fine one to talk about ignorance! How many of us [constituents] have you ignored in the past few months? You block us on social media for just asking relevant questions about our local community! We won’t be voting for you next election! From Sam
