Voters would benefit from more scrutiny of our next Prime Minister
Keir Starmer makes a keynote speech during his visit to Lancing in West Sussex appears to be sailing into office, 20 points ahead in the polls, with a floundering Conservative Party condemning themselves to even greater defeat with every desperate ploy they announce.. It’s an odd tick of modern politics that politicians feel compelled to tell us their parents’ occupations. I don’t recall ever meeting someone for the first time and them raising their parents’ jobs.
All of this is a refutation of the north London metropolitan elite tag. Starmer should not be characterised as a Camden human rights lawyer, but a simple lad from England’s green and pleasant land. It’s “important to repeat that, explain who I am and where I come from”, Starmer said in reply to a clearly-bored-of-hearing-it-again Chris Mason from the BBC.
And this is the key issue. The people know, the journalists know, you even feel the politicians know: this election is over. The question is whether what comes next is enough to solve the multiple crises we face.
