Jeremy Clarkson has declared he would rather have Russian President Vladimir Putin as a leader than Keir Starmer in a new attack on the Prime Minister.
The 64-year-old former Top Gear presenter has been intensely critical of Starmer and Chancellor Rachel Reeves in recent months.
While reflecting on the priorities of Gen Z, Clarkson repeated findings that half of the nation's 18 to 27-year-olds are not proud to be British.
Similarly, 41 per cent of that age group have said they would not fight to protect our way of life.
Instead of scolding the young, Clarkson admitted he sympathised with their attitude.
“I’m with them on this one. I wouldn’t either. Right now, I’d do nothing to stop an invasion,” he despaired.

Regarding the current state of the country, the 64-year-old was withering about the PM in his column for The Times.
“I’d take any world leader over the imbecile we have now,” he slammed.
The former Top Gear star admitted he would welcome any other leader, invasion or otherwise, “with open arms.”
His stunning admission extended to US President Donald Trump, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni and even Putin – even as the Ukraine war still dominates European politics.

In a moment of dark humour Clarkson drew the line at “DRC child slavery enthusiast, Bosco Ntaganda” coming in to replace Starmer.
His latest column is far from the first time the 64-year-old has been intensely critical of Starmer, previously branding the PM an “imbecile” multiple times.
The root of much of Clarkson’s ire for the Labour government stems from Chancellor Rachel Reeves planning to end inheritance tax exemptions for farmers passing on their properties.
The 64-year-old has become a regular defender of British farming against the tax raid - owing to his own Chipping-Norton Diddly Squat farm and the wildly popular Clarkson’s Farm Amazon show in which it features.
In his column for The Sun, Clarkson derided the Labour government as “Marxists” who were obsessed with “owning and running everything.
Repeating a claim made previously, the 64-year-old feared the Government would “ethnically cleanse” the countryside in the process.

Along with “new towns of immigrants” he had previously predicted, Clarkson imagined a countryside bereft of farm animals but home to huge solar panel farms.

Starmer’s challenge to Sky News that voters may prefer a reduction of NHS waiting lists in exchange for stopping “tax breaks on farmers” prompted fury from Clarkson.
Posting on X, he redoubled his “imbecile” barb and added it was “soul destroying having him (Starmer) in power.”
