Philip Proudfoot: Keir Starmer had one of the largest...
"Keir Starmer had one of the largest parliamentary majorities in modern British history, won largely because the Conservatives had collapsed. In just two years, he managed to burn through so much political capital that Labour had to bring in an external candidate, engineering an election to do so. Itself not surprising given Starmer spent years purging the party and tightly controlling candidate selections, leaving Parliament packed with MPs chosen for loyalty to his project-of-nothing, rather than any sign of intelligence, imagination, independence or political talent. The result is a governing party with little vision beyond misery. His premiership will be remembered (if at all) for two things: more economic immiseration at home, as living standards stagnated and public services continued to crumble, and unwavering support abroad for Israel's genocidal war on Gaza, despite mounting international condemnation. And remember, accounts on here called things like “LeninBalls6969” told you this would happen for nearly half-a-decade. And establishment journalists tried to convince you Starmer was not a hollow, politically talentless man. But a sensible grown-up. This humiliation is not just on Starmer, but every useless commentator and establishment journalist who banged the drum for two wasted years.
