Keir Starmer's Labour party is currently facing severe scrutiny as it struggles with poor public perception and internal conflict. Starmer's approval ratings are worse than those of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak during Sunak's lowest moments. Internal leaks suggest disarray within Starmer’s government, with indications that staff view him as ineffective and a mere figurehead. Critics highlight a strategy by right-wing factions within the party to undermine leftist influences, presenting them as seeing Starmer as an easy vessel for their agenda. This discontent portrays a leadership beleaguered by accusations of incompetence rather than delivering on the governing mandate.
The published excerpts from Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund's new book lay out the strategy of this rightwing faction, who saw Starmer as a useful idiot.
Just months after securing power, the prime minister's own staff briefed that they had no idea what he really believed, revealing a lack of leadership.
