There's some weird left wing birther-style conspiracy that he was actually called Keith and had it changed when he was young but he didn't.

Well, that's news to me. Maybe there are eight people out there think that, but the left tweeters I follow all say it comes from the autocorrect.

I agree it's childish, but it's hardly likely to derail his electoral prospects, is it? Does any undecided voter out there think: "Well, I was considering voting Labour, but some people on Twitter call the leader 'Keith', so perhaps I won't bother?"

The bacon sandwich thing seems to have done in for Ed Miliband, so yes, voters are swayed by stupid shit in the media.

Yeah, I reckon there's a bit of a difference between shitposters on Twitter and the front pages of the most popular national tabloids, but I take your point. I just don't reckon the Keith shit will be what does for Starmer, if indeed anything does for him.
