I’m not sure what Sir Keir brings to party

-

AS a Labour Party member I’ve found Keir Starmer as party leader very disappoint­ing, but I’m not really surprised. He may be intelligen­t and articulate, but there seems to be something lacking.

When he’s answering or asking questions he comes across as a lawyer in a courtroom rather than leader of the opposition – no passion or fire in his belly.

Being an old-style socialist I was never really happy with the election of Starmer as party leader because, being knighted, I, like many others, see him as part of the establishm­ent.
