Keirnocchio: When You Wish Upon A Starmer

'Tis the season and Matt has a new pantomime.  This is the story of Keirnocchio, a wooden MP who desperately wants to become a real boy politician.  When you wish upon a Starmer your dreams come true, and even if it means changing your mind, your poll lead will grow faster than your nose.  Plus: Some of our favourite Times columnists join a festive focus group and debate the best Christmas song, and tell us their Christmas day traditions.
