La La Land

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was living in la-la land for calling on union workers to end their industrial action, a striking Birmingham refuse worker has said.

He’s often accompanied by his day-drinking pals Jaime and Oscar, two other inventively drawn La-La Land castoffs with their own eccentric show biz travels and travails.

That’s what he fears most now, and it helps explain why he seems to be going from merely off the rails to a headlong dash to la-la land.

Mr Henry said: "It is extraordinary, isn't it, because Cartwright King, your external lawyers, know all about it, and yet you're saying that you didn't, the board didn't - I mean, this is la-la land isn't it?"

Former Post Office boss Paula Vennells has been accused of living in "la-la land" by a lawyer representing sub-postmasters.
