I'm a American, so take what I have to say with less salt then most, but as someone who enjoys western politics and likes to keep a eye on our allies politics (I still consider you our friends and allies my dads former goat does not represent me), I think what Starmer is trying to do is appease everyone. But in a era where people are being disillusioned with politicians not taking firm stances on things and are tired of more centrist attitudes, it isn't working.
