Don’t think Starmer deserves the treatment he is getting now from his colleagues and the press. Name someone who actually has better credentials!
Starmer has surely made some mistakes but overall hasn’t been anywhere as bad to be forced out in 2 years after a landslide election victory.
Now that we are here, who in the Labour Party genuinely has better credentials apart from Starmer to be a PM at this point and should contest a leadership race against Burnham and Streeting? We don’t even clearly know what these guys’ policy positions are!
Update: After 303 comments, hardly anyone’s actually named some strong candidates who have articulated what better they will do versus Starmer? If indeed there have been improvements versus previous few governments (low bar of course) and communication is the problem, why not unite and offer help to fix that rather than try to disrupt to inherit exact same problems with no new solutions?
