Well I've been saying ever since Starmer took over that he's sure to lose the next election. I'm 99.9% certain that I'll eating my words (which will make me very happy), but that's because, as the old cliche goes, elections are lost by the incumbents, not won by the opposition. The Tories almost look as if they're imploding on purpose. The spectre of a weak Labour leader who favours centralising control freakery (and worse, who is determined to sideline the left, the true heart and soul of the party) is unedifying in the extreme and is not the mark of a man who is capable of sidelining the Tories for a generation.
