British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made headlines during the Paris Olympics opening ceremony by being the only dignitary not wearing a plastic poncho in the pouring rain. The image, widely shared on social media, was seen as a testament to the British "stiff upper lip" attitude. Starmer, who wore a Team GB rain-proof jacket, remarked, "It's British! We are used to the rain," praising the event as "spectacular" and "fantastic." This was Starmer's first official visit to Paris since his landslide election victory, ending 14 years of Conservative rule.
