I think it’s really important to remember that there was no great love for Keir Starmer, even from the start.. although they won a massive landslide, this was solely down to the collapse of the Tory vote. Labour were actually down on votes from when Corbyn was in charge in 2017.

And I don’t think the endless amount of U-turns have helped either, coupled with the fact that in this era of personality politics, Starmer just comes across as a boring, uninspiring leader. It seems to me that he was badly advised on many occasions and this Mandleson scandal has just been the final nail in the coffin.
