In a twist no one saw coming, Sir Keir Starmer is shaping up to be one of the best Conservative Prime Ministers we’ve had in years. Left-wing members of his party must be beside themselves, watching their leader embrace old-school Tory values like a natural. And honestly, it’s hard to see how Rishi Sunak and Liz Truss didn’t cling to these values more tightly if they truly wanted to win over the electorate.
Just take a look at what Starmer has been doing lately: promises to boost defence spending, cuts to the foreign aid budget, warnings of significant cuts to benefits (including for disabled people), and even pledges to send almost 20,000 migrants back to their countries of origin. The guy’s practically living in Tory wet dream territory, and it’s working. At Prime Minister’s Questions, he wiped the floor with poor Kemi Badenoch for the fourth week running, reported the Express.
