Keir Starmer could try to reverse string of hapless publicity stunts with ‘fly-on-the-wall TV documentary’

SIR Keir Starmer could be coming to the small screen with his own fly-on-the wall TV documentary to boost his beleaguered leadership.

The embattled Labour boss has been approached by broadcasters about being followed by a camera crew to let voters see him in a new light.

Party strategists are desperate to get on the front foot after a bruising set of local election results, bitter internal rifts and a string of PR disasters.

Sir Keir is already preparing for a tell-all interview with ITV’s Piers Morgan to show viewers his human side.

Now TV companies have been approached about filming his day-to-day life, according to The Times, although Labour insists nothing has been agreed.

Blunders have beset the Labour leader these past few weeks, including an ill-judged photo-op in John Lewis that backfired spectacularly.

Soon after his troubled worsened when he lost the Red Wall battleground of Hartlepool and had a spat with deputy Angela Rayner.

Labour critics are already circling and big beast Andy Burnham has signalled his leadership ambitions.

Gordon Brown’s ex-polling guru Deborah Mattinson has been hired to give Sir Keir a makeover and turn around his flagging fortunes.

Baring all for the cameras is a well-trodden tactic and was deployed by Jeremy Corbyn during his doomed period in charge.

The stunt nosedived when one of his loose-lipped aides confessed critics should “let him fail in his own time”.

A Labour spokesperson said: Labour spokesperson: “We are regularly approached by companies hoping to work with us on content.

“But it isn’t correct that there is anything planned or in the pipeline.”
