Sir Keir Starmer visited Welland Academy in Peterborough with Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson to promote expansion of the free school meals programme. During a reading session a pupil noted they were on page 67, prompting the prime minister to make the juggling hand gesture associated with the viral '6-7' dance and causing class-wide laughter. A teacher told him the dance had previously gotten pupils into trouble and remained banned at the school. Starmer apologised to head teacher Jo Anderson, uploaded a video of the moment to Instagram captioned 'I think I just got myself put in detention...', and the '67' meme was named Dictionary.com's Word of the Year for 2025.
