🎂 Keir Starmer passed his third “birthday” as Labour leader on Tuesday Although more of the public think he’s doing a better job setting out Labour’s vision, some voters and even his own MPs have yet to work out who Starmer really is, writes paulwaugh
reassuring presence on the airwaves and in corporate boardrooms, Labour is crucially ahead of the Tories on the issue., who had huge personal popularity but was criticised for the cost of living crisis and deep Covid debts, is a lesson Starmer’s team has noted on how social democratic governments can get upended if not trusted with people’s money.
The phrase, originally dreamed up by shadow Work and Pensions Secretary, Jonathan Ashworth, to describe the approach to the NHS, conjures up emergency cash injections allied to longer term restructuring and efficiencies. “It doesn’t send a great message that he’s binned so many advisers and demoted half his mates,” one shadow minister said. In a revealingrecently, Starmer admitted that his big weakness was that he “takes too long to get to a position of trust” with those he works with, but some colleagues worry his lack of loyalty sends the wrong message to his MPs.
Key advisers now play down the idea of a “big bang” reshuffle and stressed there will be minor changes to reflect new government departments. MPs joke that Starmer has to be seen “keeping up with the Joneses”, a reference to the need to promote impressive media performers like shadow Home Office minister, Sarah Jones, and Commons business committee chairman, Darren Jones, both of whom are well liked by colleagues.
