Man without a plan
WITH the Prime Minister now a lame duck, the past month should have been rich pickings for Her Majesty’s opposition. Tragically for Labour, its leader Sir Keir Starmer remains woefully without a plan.
Rather than offer solutions to the soaring cost of living, he and his party have preferred to carp at the sidelines and make cheap digs at Boris Johnson for taking a long-delayed honeymoon.
Meanwhile, in the build-up to further rail misery gripping the country today, Sir Keir couldn’t even step away from his own holiday sun lounger to denounce the strikes for fear of upsetting his union paymasters.
At least we assumed he was on holiday. Bizarrely, Labour’s business spokesman Jonathan Reynolds yesterday was unable to say whether his boss was on leave or not.
Sir Keir is of course entitled to his summer break. But his constant vacillation is now beyond embarrassing.
