Is Keir Starmer blowing his chance to be prime minister?
Keir Starmer: is he capable of making a good decision?
This tweet just caught my eye, and I think it makes a few good points:
Starmer had a 37% lead in the polls. He blew it by
• Trying to deselect Ian Byrne
• Purging Jeremy Corbyn
• Making up lies about Sunak
• Announcing no real policies that offered hope to those struggling
• Promising to freeze energy bills at record highs.He’s blowing it.

My personal opinion is that one could add any number of other decisions – not just purging Mr Corbyn but the whole party, going back on all of the pledges he made in order to be elected Labour leader, and so on.
So with a 37-point lead dwindling down to just 11, there’s a strong argument that Keir Starmer is indeed blowing his chance to be prime minister. There’s just one other question:
Deliberately?

Mike, Are you suggesting that Keir Starmer is genuinely a Tory plant within the Labour Party, put there specifically to ruin Labour’s chances? I must admit it’s crossed my mind occasionally, but I always dismiss it as too far-fetched even in today’s crazy world.
I don’t think he is “blowing his chances” I think he is doing exactly the job expected of him. To destroy Labour and take us into a one party state. I can’t see any other logical reason. He is certainly no idiot, he knows exactly what he is doing, why he’s doing it and on who’s behalf. Conspiracy theory? Maybe, but I wouldn’t bet my pension against it.
