An accidentally NSFW post about Keir Starmer’s glitter incident has beaten off all comers for the Typo of the Week award
The glitter attack on Keir Starmer at the Labour Party Conference gave him a chance to show he wasn’t easily ruffled and gave tweeters a chance to show their topical comedy chops.
It also provided the undoubted Typo of the Day – if not of the week – courtesy of journalist Kevin Maguire.
"If he thinks that bothers me he doesn't know me," says a cool Starmer with glitter on his shirt and jacked off.
Starmer wants power not protest, he says.

He clarified the message …
Well, yes, cough, I meant to type “jacket off” not “jacked off”. That would’ve been a surprising response. Blaming autoincorrect… https://t.co/55pGI3mQNT

But it was too late. The typo was on its way to becoming legendary.

I didn’t realise Starmer was having that much fun on stage.

This is what happens when you toss off a tweet and end up looking like a jerk-off. https://t.co/zqOW3nc9e1

Either this is meant to say "jacket off" or Starmer is really pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable in a conference speech. https://t.co/9KNd3pjOCi pic.twitter.com/67yuQmwAV5

I understand why Elon Musk wants to charge for Twitter, content like this really shouldn't be free. https://t.co/0CcsU81GID

They jacked him off? So at least the story had a happy ending. https://t.co/13vQzz1gIa

We’re not sure whether this would be a vote winner for Labour – or for every other party.
