POLICE removed a banner saying “beep if you think Keir Starmer is a w**ker” after constant honking from motorists created a noise nuisance for neighbours.
Locals said the sign created the “loudest dual carriageway in Britain” before a patrolling officer was alerted to it.

It was put up on the A4 Portway in Bristol on Wednesday, while a second banner read: “Stop the boats.”
Local resident Mike Turner commented: “It’s louder than The Rolling Stones at the moment.
“I think it’s a sign!”
Another wrote: “Loudest dual carriageway in Britain”.
It is understood there were no official noise complaints to the police.
There was one call pointing out that the signs were put up.
An Avon and Somerset Police spokesman said: “A patrolling officer was alerted to two signs on overbridges on the busy A4 Portway on Wednesday 20 August.
“Due to the potential they could result in a distraction to drivers, as well as a nuisance to nearby residents, they were removed.”
