Keir Starmer is struggling to sound like a prime minister

Keir Starmer speaking to the media at the launch of Scottish Labour’s General Election campaign , Keir Starmer will be the prime minister in just a few weeks. Labour is miles ahead of the Conservatives in the polls, and despite choosing to go early, Rishi Sunak’s party is expressing the same levels of happiness about having an election– for Labour. But does Starmer actually look prime ministerial yet? In his broadcast interviews today, he sounded oddly lacking in confidence and low on energy.

he ruthlessly masqueraded as being more palatable to the Corbynites to get elected so that he could chuck them all out One of the things holding Starmer back is his instinctive caution. The opener to this column – “unless something goes wrong” – is probably also the phrase echoing in the Labour leader’s mind the most. He has spent years warning his front bench against complacency, with regular presentations to shadow cabinet on how big the swing is that Labour needs to win, and how easily it could fall short when the heat of an election campaign is on.
