So Jeremy Corbyn will not be allowed to stand as a Labour candidate at the next election.

"...Sir Keir said the party had changed under his leadership and 'we are not going back,, adding that if others did not back him they could leave." [BBC]

Well so much for the broad church then. Starmer campaigned at two general elections to get Corbyn into Downing Street at the same time as all the confected brouhaha about "Labour antisemitism" was boiling away. But now this. The sheer hypocrisy is staggering. The expedient ousting the principled. Ironically, Starmer will be relying on the left to keep their heads down so that he can "win" by Tory default.

I can't see the Tories rescuing themselves before the next election but I can see Starmer being a weak, single-term (or less) prime minister (I nearly said "leader" there, but that wouldn't be the right word). I dearly want to be wrong, but I'm not putting my money on it.
