He just doesn't seem to DO anything as PM. He just IS.
Now I freely admit that is just my impression looking in from far away whereas I was rather more up front and personal with the times of awful PMs like May, Johnson, Truss and Sunak, but I am really struggling to think of any impact or thing of import that Starmer has delivered (whether I agree with it or not). Even Truss did something in her short time. It was an egregiously shit thing and nearly destroyed the economy, but it was a thing done.
My impression is that Starmer is trying to ride on the coat-tails of "anyone but the Conservatives" for his time in power, and that frankly just isn't good enough. He needs to be creating incentives for people to vote Labour at the next election.
A failure so far, and if the noise around this type of issue continues he won't be lasting the full term. A lot of people will be thinking they voted the Conservatives out to get rid of sleaze, backhanders, and all that shit, while getting a government that actually cared about them. Not seeing much evidence that such hopes and aspirations are being met.
The trouble is, the end result could well be Farage getting power. Now THAT will be a disaster.
So I think Labour need to move Starmer out PDQ. But who is the viable leadership candidate in their current crop? Rayner is compromised by her resignation issue and Bad Enoch and Farage would be all over that in the next election campaign.
