Owen Jones: It's the end of the Tories – why aren't voters excited?

As pollsters note, he will become the most unpopular Leader of the Opposition to become prime minister.

Here’s why this disintegrating cabal deserves the tagline of the “worst government in British democratic history”. It’s not just that they fail on terms set by the likes of myself, who you would expect to viscerally oppose all the Tories do. It’s that they have failed on their own terms. Well, it’ll be these Labour voters who are proven right. Starmer tossed his key leadership pledges on a bonfire – from public ownership to taxing the rich, abolishing English tuition fees to a human rights based foreign policy. When he later offered a £28bn-a-year green investment fund as his flagship policy, he then junked it. He watered down Labour’s package on workers’ rights. They’ve committed to keep the Tories’ fiscal rule.

But they will win only because the Tories have self-combusted, and they know it. Alas, the Starmerites will try and shout down any scrutiny of Labour’s plans from the left, claiming it will risk the Tories sneaking back in. They know this is simply not possible.
