Labour is leading Britain on an economic death march |
Keir Starmer’s premiership looks to be over but, unlike great Labour leaders of the past, none of his possible replacements has a vision for growth, says Paul Ormerod
To all intents and purposes, an election campaign for the position of leader of the Labour Party is currently underway. In fact, it has been for some time.
Acute dissatisfaction with Starmer is rife across the Parliamentary Labour Party, in the trade unions and throughout the Labour membership as a whole.
We do not know the outcome. Starmer does appear to be uniquely unpopular with the electorate, and the feeling might be that it does not really matter who replaces him as long as someone does.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister may even survive because of an inability to agree on who might do the job better and give Labour a chance of winning the next election.
