It obviously goes back to what was a conclusion at the last general election. The electorate didn't really vote for Labour, they just boycotted the Conservatives who lost touch with the British public and instead voted for other parties. Starmers landside election result wasn't some grand mandate from the public, it was simply a disproportionate, mathematical fluke under FPTP system.

Doesn't matter which labour MP replaces him, it will be much of the same.

Attempted to be an authoritarian, but caused division.

Where did it go wrong, have you lot not followed his entire time as prime minister? It went wrong from the get go

It went wrong from the very beginning, somthing disingenuous, something off, something of a hidden agenda.
@
His reaction to Southport was appalling, attacking the people for protesting about worrying for their children's safety then calling Labour's traditional voters far right scum. No wonder people vote for Reform.

Keir Starmer should resign ! He is catastrophy for Britain !

Has the Labour Party not learnt any from years of watching the Conservative Party self destruct. Here we go again ….
