"You won’t be able to move this weekend for commentators gravely intoning that #Starmer lacks a vision for government. What they won’t say is that he eschewed any vision to get into government. His very lack of politics is how he became politically successful. It was the essential precondition for him to be judged by the right wing papers and others as no threat"

As Labour heads for a wipeout, a lesson: never fall for the ‘adults in the room’ line again

Presenting himself as a serious, sensible ‘grownup’ was essential to Starmer’s rise to power. His premiership has revealed how hollow that message is, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

"One proves political maturity by not banging on about injustice, by not troubling too much the rich and powerful. To try it out, simply stand in front of a mirror and slowly declare yourself to be “pro-business and pro-worker”. If you can do that without flinching at the obvious contradiction, then congratulations! You too can be prime minister"

This isn't my analysis of why #Starmer has been a disaster; but it is a convincing analysis.

Apparently for #Starmer watching children blow up to pieces during #gazagenocide is not the same as some millionaires being scared by a fake shooting. So he has to "condenm" this but support killing people in the middle east.🤷🤷
Man, I hope this idiot gets kicked out the government soon.
