He's clearly at odds with the dominant faction, which makes him a plausible replacement should one be needed.
He should revese every policy and every decision he's made since he walked into Downing Street. Every single one. He should even give that stupid little kitten he bought back to the cats home. Then he should announce 'sorry guv jobs not for me" then fuck off out the back door not to be seen again.
Inability to hold the line for a progressive cut like this is just woeful. Just keep saying "millionaires were receiving money from the state" but if you waver the story is your hesitancy not your talking points. Migration stuff is going nowhere long term you're right.

No one doubted the 💩 left in the wake of the Tories but Starmer & McSweeney have managed to make the perception of their own competence even worse
They can’t even sell good news 🤔
The sector is already a disaster area and gravely damaging The NHS.
