Sir Keir doesn't just want the Tories to lose - he wants Labour to win.
It was a speech Sir Keir Starmer said he'd waited four years to give. And after the glitter was dusted off, there is no doubt the Labour leader was still basking in the afterglow the morning after what one colleague described as the 'speech of his life'. I've interviewed the Labour leader a number of times, at low and high points of his leadership, and the Keir Starmer on show this week was more assured and confident than I had seen before.
While the vast majority of voters want change, a huge chunk of them are still not convinced the change is Labour. To even begin to convince them it is, Sir Keir first has to get their attention. And even after that, the challenge remains huge. Sir Keir requires an even bigger swing than the record 10.2 per cent Sir Tony Blair achieved in 1997 to win a majority. He needs to gain over 120 seats to win outright.
