How Albania's 6ft 7 PM towered over Starmer on his day of humiliation

At 6ft 7in, Albania's giant of a Prime Minister towered over Sir Keir Starmer - both in size and authority - in Tirana yesterday.

Edi Rama, a former professional basketball player who won a fourth term as PM on Sunday, loomed large over his 5ft 8in British counterpart and humiliated him over his latest attempt at a migrant crackdown.

Clambering to 'smash the gangs', Sir Keir used a trip to Tirana to unveil plans to create Rwanda-style centres abroad to house failed asylum seekers from the UK.

Standing at two podiums in front of the Union Jack and Albanian flags, there was a notable disparity between the two leaders.

Not only was Sir Keir dwarfed by his Albanian counterpart in size, he was then subjected to a televised rebuke that has left Labour red-faced and the Conservatives laughing.
