Dear Keir*
January 04, 2026
|The Observer
Hullo Britain, and Happy New Keir!
-
[hope you're rested, relaxed and ready to grow the economy through increased productivity. My overriding resolution is to reverse my political fortunes.Ill be launching an initiative, 26 in’26, to return my approval rating to the giddy heights of 26%. From there, it’s a hop, skip and a jump to reelection, universal adoration and an unimpeachable legacy. I have a good feeling about the coming months!
Admittedly, I'm in hot water for saying I was “delighted” by the return of British-Egyptian activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah, who sent some spicy tweets back in the day. Now Reform is demanding he be stripped of his citizenship. It's certainly bold of Nigel Farage to argue that we should deport people for historical racism. Still, ’'m sure this unpleasantness will blow over, and I won't make any more blunders.
Let’s keep the positive vibes going as we turn to your questions!
Dear Keir, my partner and Lare from very different backgrounds. His family struggles to accept me, which takes toll on the relationship. Is there a way forward?
Millicent, Bury St Edmunds
