Never has the phrase ‘in office but not in power’ been more apt. Like some strange, malfunctioning automaton, Sir Keir Starmer continues to go through the motions of running the country even though his power source has been switched off.
His authority visibly draining away, the PM’s stock phrases sound ever more tragic. ‘Delivering on our promises… prepared to take the tough decisions… putting country before party… fixing the foundations.’
The truth is there’s a vacuum at the heart of this government, and everyone knows it. The public sees the country going backwards and doesn’t believe Sir Keir can turn it around.
