Jeremy Clarkson has ‘invented’ a new nickname for Sir Keir Starmer in his latest savage swipe.
Jeremy Clarkson has delivered another sharp-tongued swipe at Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, unveiling a new and highly controversial nickname for the Labour leader. Known for his blunt opinions and no-holds-barred commentary, Clarkson, who has enjoyed a career spanning over 30 years as a TV presenter on BBC’s Top Gear and Prime Video’s The Grand Tour, is also a regular on social media, where his outspoken nature often sparks attention and controversy.
Clarkson has recently expanded his media footprint with his popular Prime Video series Clarkson’s Farm, where he documents his foray into farming at his Diddly Squat Farm in Chadlington, Oxfordshire. While fans have embraced the series’ honest and often humorous portrayal of Clarkson’s farming mishaps, his candid remarks about political figures continue to generate headlines.
In his latest tirade, Clarkson targeted Sir Keir Starmer in a tweet after Robert Lowe MP shared a post claiming that Labour MPs are turning on Starmer. Lowe’s tweet declared that Starmer “should be ejected from office” and criticized the prime minister for allegedly disgracing the position. In response, a Twitter user reshared the post and wished they could “invent another swear word” to describe Starmer.
Clarkson wasted no time in contributing to the conversation, responding with a crude and provocative nickname for Starmer: “Custard is useful. Half ct, half btard.” The controversial post quickly went viral, gaining thousands of likes and sparking a mix of reactions. Some fans found the nickname hilarious, with one commenting that they would be adding it to their list of insults. Another follower eagerly anticipated Clarkson using the nickname in the upcoming season of Clarkson’s Farm.
This is not the first time Clarkson has taken aim at the Labour leader. Back in October, he criticized Starmer’s handling of the UK economy, claiming that the prime minister “has no clue what to do about the economy.” Clarkson’s remarks on social media have sparked frequent debate, with some praising his unfiltered honesty while others decrying his lack of decorum.
As for Clarkson’s Farm, fans can look forward to the return of the show, as filming for season five wrapped at the end of September. While the release date for the new episodes is still up in the air, it’s expected that the new season will air in spring 2026, following the release schedule of previous seasons. Clarkson’s ongoing involvement in both his farming ventures and his social media outbursts ensures he remains a figure capable of sparking debate, whether on the farm or in the political arena.
