  1. >Even before he took power, he pinned his government down with manifesto commitments not to raise income taxes or VAT. His half-baked reforms were painful enough to alarm voters but too small to have a meaningful effect on the economy. The big stuff never materialised: no big tax reset, no brave welfare reform, no ambitious rapprochement with the EU. He talked about speeding up planning, but wavered as soon as he hit resistance.

    >Prime ministers need authority and clarity. Sir Keir, it turns out, has neither. He cannot articulate a vision. Nor is he grounded in one.

    Nail on the head

  2. Submission statement: Keir Starmer is the prime minister of the UK, and the fact the Economist (the beloved newspaper of this sub) thinks he has utterly ballsed it up is relevant.

  3. Time to reinstate The Licensing of the Press Act

    Sir Keir do not waver for your cause is just
