Blowing hot and cold on Keir Starmer’s leadership

I am clearly one of the “leftwing faint-hearts” referred to in John Harris’s article (Dear Keir, the polls are tightening and frankly, people are worried. You have to raise your game, 16 April). I have sent two emails to Sir Keir Starmer to express my unease at the anti-Sunak ads and have received two automated responses in return. That’s it – zilch.

Is this perhaps AI at its simplest? (The computer says “No – go away.”) Well then, I hope the Labour party has stocked up on robots to deliver its election leaflets next year because, at this rate, I don’t feel inclined to do so. Perhaps Sir Keir and those responsible for this campaign think we will all suck it up and deliver when the time comes? I am not so sure I want to be associated with a party that sinks to Boris Johnson’s level.
