UK PM’s Mishap at G20 Summit Sparks Light-hearted Reactions

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced a minor mishap during a meeting with business leaders at the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa. The incident, which occurred as he approached the group, was captured on video and has since circulated online. Starmer’s stumble was described as a momentary lapse, with no serious consequences reported. The summit, which is being held in Johannesburg from November 22-23, sees the participation of leaders representing the world’s largest economies. South Africa assumed the rotating presidency of the group in December 2024, becoming the first African nation to lead the forum. Starmer’s awkward moment was not an isolated incident, as he had a similar experience earlier this month during the UN Climate Change Conference in Brazil, where he stumbled on the metal staircase while disembarking from his aircraft.
