Some complain that Keir Starmer “lacks charisma” as if somehow “charisma” would solve the problems. Well, they said that Boris Johnson had charisma. That went well (“Labour ‘lacks coherent story’ and is leaving door open to Nigel Farage’s Reform, warn top pollsters” – Tuesday 31 December).
Keir Starmer appears to be a principled politician who is leading a financially beleaguered government’s bid to bring more fairness and social justice to society in difficult circumstances.
