Speaking at the Political Party with Matt Forde event at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Sarwar said: “All I heard was him on the PlayStation going ‘Sir Keir Starmer’.

“I thought what is he doing? He was playing his wrestling game and he has downloaded Keir Starmer as a wrestler.

“I was watching him, he was doing a wrestling match, Keir Starmer and Joe Biden versus Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un (the leader of North Korea) and Rishi Sunak.”

He went on to say he had not yet told Sir Keir his son had turned him into a wrestling character, adding: “I can’t wait to tell him that story.”
