SIR Keir Starmer was mocked at Belbroughton Scarecrow Festival where a creative villager had crafted a life-like effigy of the new PM in a suit stuffed with premier league tickets.
The wurzel version of the PM was even dressed with glasses in a nod to the intense scrutiny of Sir Keir and his wife Victoria for accepting donations.
Donning a blue suit and burgundy tie, the entry features a rake for a head and trowel hands, complete with a premier league ticket in his upper pocket.
The entry also poked fun at the Labour leader's pre-election slogan with a sign that reads: "My dad was a toolmaker. I am a tool... maker's son."
Sir Keir has been found to have declared more freebies than any other MP, with gifts, benefits and hospitality topping £100,000 since December 2019.
Donations from Labour life peer Lord Waheed Alli included clothes, Arsenal matches and a Taylor Swift concert.
Elsewhere at the the scarecrow festival in Belbroughton, believed to be the UK's biggest, was an effigy of Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator sporting a blow-up machine gun.
The festival, held on September 21 and 22, saw locals creating their favourite pop-culture figures out of straw.
Harry Potter fans posed with the young wizard as he cast his expecto patronum charm to create his ghostly stag.
Meanwhile, children reacted to a giant straw shark leaping out of the garden of one crafty neighbour's home.
Pop icon Dolly Parton, former PM Winston Churchill and theoretical physicist Albert Einstein were also spotted around the village.
The festival was found by children's author Steve Haywood in 1996 and is held every September.
