Chris Mason: Starmer’s willingness to be unpopular comes with risks
In a shocking move that has sent shockwaves through the UK political landscape, Labour leader Keir Starmer has shown a brazen willingness to take hits from the public, friends of the party say they’re worried about the increasing number of critics. A growing chorus of voices expressing deep disappointment and frustration by Labour’s performance, calling on the party to find its mojo.
Keir Starmer’s unenviable task is to shift public opinion and energise a disenchanted faithful in a country that shows signs of growing tired.
