I thought Starmer had some promise. He ran on a commitment to work with Jeremy Corbyn and the many people he brought into the party. The he and his team, almost gleefully, aggressively expelled and marginalized all of those people. I felt that exposed a deep cynicism.
Yes, I remember that, and I didn’t like it at the time. I genuinely really liked and still like Jeremy Corbyn. I guess it was just the relief to see the Tories booted out that made me more hopeful than I should have been.
Starmer now polls well below the worst numbers Corbyn ever posted - and Nigel Farage is leading in the polls. So, even as cynical politics, I feel this project is failing.

This government is not resisting the Trumpist agenda. They are adopting it.
