KEIR Starmer is clearly emboldened by a largely uncontroversial Labour Party conference and the financial chaos being reaped by the Tory government.
It has allowed Starmer to position himself as a safe pair of hands, the sensible option compared to the current financial and economic turmoil facing the UK.
Suddenly, his despatch box style of lecturing the Tories as an annoyed secondary school teacher has come to bear fruit - “boring” Starmer can now, and already has, position himself as the “serious” alternative to Liz Truss and her cabal.
