Giant effigy of Sir Keir Starmer unveiled ahead of town's Bonfire Night celebrations
The 11-metre effigy of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer includes satirical elements and will be the focus of Edenbridge's Bonfire Night, which expects over 500 participants.
- A colossal 11m effigy of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will headline Edenbridge's Bonfire Night on November 8, standing alongside a giant Guy Fawkes.
- The Edenbridge Bonfire Society chose Starmer by public vote, organisers said, with chairman Bill Cummings adding it aims to remind people why we have Bonfire Night.
- Laura Lawrence said `The effigy this year for the first time actually has a Guy Fawkes ruff and he's wearing a hat because we feel that Starmer is doing quite well at igniting Parliament by himself at the moment`.
- The press unveil preceded dismantling and preparation for the spectacle, which is expected to draw around 10,000 people, with more than 500 participants joining the torchlit parade through Edenbridge High Street.
- In recent years the society has targeted high-profile figures and controversies, organisers note, mocking Donald Trump, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss after last year's Ticketmaster and Oasis satire.
