Starmer appears stuffed

 The UK Prime minister Keir Starmer appears gawn.

For reasons I have never understood he appointed the prince of darkness to be the UK's ambassador to the USA He had to resign from Cabinet not once but TWICE!! If that was not a red light it was certainly an amber which meant a lot of investigation needed to be done on him.

Starmer whilst impressive on the foreign stage is mediocre on the domestics one.

This  comes down to two reasons.

  1. A successful leader needs to have very good political judgement. Starmer does not appear to have this.
  2. A successful leader needs a very good team. Paul Keating for example always had an outstanding team around him in whom he could trust. Starmer clearly does not have this. Starmer appointed them so he has to own this.
He got into trouble because his judgement was poor BUT also his team di not understood what proper process is. That Mandelson has problems with security should have set off the air raid sirens but it didn't.
Starmer's staff incompetence in this matter simply translates into Starmer's incompetence.

Reform has gained popularity over there for reasons that escape me. They are corrupt and lie with great ease and Starmer's answer to to capture a number of their policies. That never works because people usually want the originals to implement policy.

All this means Starmer is gawn.
