This gave me a big belly laugh:
Another Conservative said: “The answer is we need to find a way to appeal to voters we lost to all parties. I don’t know how you do that on policy, but Keir Starmer showed you can do it by looking competent and serious. But I don’t know if any of the candidates we have at the moment can do that.”
Agreed, that is why people voted the way they did, but Starmer has already had a bump in approval. The next GE will be on his record. Nobody will care if he’s somebody they want to talk to down the pub if he delivers improvements.
