No doubt Starmer himself is part of the problem. But given he's not going anywhere in the near future you need to try and create an operation that will work with what he can do.

Isn’t this always true for any PM? Nobody will ever tick all the boxes, or even most of them.

What is the Labour Party process for ditching their leader? Not on the cards for now, but if Labour continues to plummet surely the knives will be getting sharpened.

No amount of moving the deck chairs can make up for the lack of a message and political backbone. Too often they just seem to react to stuff and don’t want to set the agenda. Yet when Farage makes a ridiculous policy statement they don’t react at all.

Listening to Nick Thomas Symonds on the Newsagents he seems a decent competent person and yet doesn’t seem to have a political bone in his body. It’s so frustrating

The Labour conference could be telling. A lot of Labour people are really not comfortable with Starmer and Cooper nodding along with the Farage rhetoric.
