UK PM Keir Starmer Caught Doing ‘6-7’ With Pupils; Says ‘Sorry, Miss’ After Finding Out It’s Forbidden
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accidentally sparked a viral moment during a classroom visit when he joined pupils performing the trending “6-7” chant. While reading with a student, she pointed to pages six and seven and launched into the famous hand gesture, Starmer copied her instantly, prompting the entire class to follow. Only afterward did he learn the gesture is banned in many schools, leading him to apologise to headteacher Jo Anderson with a sheepish “Sorry, Miss,” joking that he had “earned detention.” The visit, part of a campaign to expand free school meals to 500,000 more children by 2026, reignited attention on the “6-7” craze, a mysterious trend so widespread that Dictionary.com named it Word of the Year.
