It’s fortunate that the crowd at Alexandra Palace is so boisterous—especially for the Prime Minister.
Luke Littler and Gian van Veen are currently battling it out in the PDC World Darts Championship, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

Only a few legs into the first set, the Prime Minister might have been advised to switch off his television.
The chant “Keir Starmer’s a w***er” made a reappearance from the 3,300-strong crowd in North London.
Sky Sports attempted to minimize the chant for viewers at home before it dominated the broadcast.
Currently, Starmer is not the most popular Prime Minister in history, especially given the challenging economic conditions in the UK.
According to YouGov, only 18 percent of Britons hold a favorable view of Keir Starmer, marking his lowest rating as Labour leader.
Returning to the darts match—van Veen secured the first set by taking advantage of some missed doubles from Littler, but the world number one rallied back from two legs down in the next set to level the score.
Despite facing boos after his victory over Rob Cross, Littler received cheers from the crowd at Ally Pally after winning the second set.
The crowd sang: “Walking along, singing a song, walking in a Littler wonderland.”
It’s great to see the audience has forgiven Littler for his earlier outburst during the tournament. Keir Starmer, however, is not as fortunate.
