"Before long, other members of the class are joining in and laughing hysterically. That was a bit wild, Starmer says as he exits the classroom, before he is swiftly reprimanded by the school's headteacher, Jo Anderson. You know children get in trouble for saying that in our school? The prime minister, who was visiting the school along with the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson, apologises as he walks down the corridor, adding: I didn't start it, Miss."
Prime Minister Keir Starmer joined pupils at Welland Academy in Peterborough in performing the viral 'six-seven' dance after a girl pointed to page six-seven while he was reading with the class. A video posted to Starmer's Instagram shows him making the juggling-like motion as other children join and laugh. Headteacher Jo Anderson reprimanded him, noting children get in trouble for saying that, and Starmer apologised, saying 'I didn't start it, Miss.' The phrase 'six-seven' traces to Philadelphia rapper Skrilla's 2024 track Doot Doot (6 7), and gained wider virality via videos of NBA player LaMelo Ball.
