GB News host Patrick Christys has shared and commented on a video of Sir Keir Starmer, who is visibly shaking while speaking in the House of Commons earlier today during Prime Minister's Questions. In the short clip, Starmer has to hold his shaking left hand down with his other hand as he stands at the podium to discuss Lord Peter Mandelson. It follows the Metropolitan Police launching a criminal investigation into Mandelson over possible misconduct in public office following the latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Christys reshared the video on X from a YouTuber called Connor Tomlinson and issued a damning message about Starmer. The GB News star captioned the video: "Great spot by @Con_Tomlinson - Starmer's hands shaking whilst discussing Mandelson in the Commons. He knows he's done."
Body language expert Judi James also broke down the Prime Minister's trembling by telling Express.co.uk: "Starmer's hands do appear to be shaking here, specifically the left hand, while he uses the right one to self-police the symptom of nervousness or anxiety, clamping it or suppressing it as though aware of the problem but keen to conceal it.
"His right elbow leans on the dispatch box, which might allow it to be more grounded and supported and therefore less shaky. It's his left hand held in the air to use for gesticulation that appears to cause the problem here."
She added: "Shaking hands can be caused by a variety of emotions, from anxiety and fear to anger. The usual perception is that it is anxiety-based in a scenario like this when a politician is put under pressure, although the idea of suppressed anger perhaps shouldn't be ruled out."
Starmer was aware of Mandelson's ongoing friendship with convicted paedophile Epstein when he appointed him ambassador to the United States.
However, Starmer claimed the peer "lied repeatedly" about the extent of the relationship with the disgraced financier.
