Keir Starmer is one of Labour's most rightwing prime ministers. And one of its most leftwing, too | Andy Beckett
Briefly

Since Labour's recent electoral victory, critics have increasingly expressed disappointment with the government's rightward shifts, notably its retention of the two-child benefit cap. Starmer's leadership, marked by questionable aligns with right-leaning ideologies and insufficient communication of the government's vision, has left long-time Labour supporters feeling disenchanted. The unclear distinctions between Starmer's administration and earlier Labour governments pose questions about the party's current identity and direction. This lack of clarity and consistency raises concerns about the future under his leadership and amplifies disillusionment among left-leaning constituents.
Starmer's premiership is turning out to be extremely, perhaps uniquely, difficult to believe in, with the government failing to clarify its overall purpose.
Labour has often behaved as if the boundaries between its supposedly centre-left politics and the politics of the right or even the far right have simply melted away.
