Starmer's title is Sir, so that's call him that, it's fine.

Bizarrely, “Doctor” is not a protected title. You can literally call yourself a doctor and not get in trouble for any sort of false representation (Nurse also, which is why so many healthcare support workers etc. are allowed to call themselves nurses, when they in fact are not registered nurses at all).

But yeah I can quite legally call myself Doctor Toy Soldier. Ain’t no one can’t do nuffink abaat it.
