What would you base that on Jay?

My take on him would be as follows.

He came to power at a time when populist politics had diminished our standing in the world and made trading with our nearest trade partners in Europe more difficult, all due to a nonsensical populist Brexit based upon an idea of UK strength and exceptionalism that had no basis in reality, but was sold to a portion of the population as viable and beneficial. This was Johnson. Then markets which are hugely important when you have as much debt as we have had begun to get concerned due to Truss making no fiscal sense whatsoever.

So Starmer's big problem is it's now very difficult to generate growth but he can't spend without growth or cuts. People want better services and way of life but we can't spend without being able to show where the money will come from.

He has decided to try and make cuts where least hurting those in most need and generate growth slowly but in the right direction, all whilst reassuring markets he can be trusted. In doing so he has made some political mistakes such as winter fuel allowance, something that makes sense as it was a non means tested benefit but is politically an own goal. He has made a few other needless political mistakes in my view but nothing major. Globally he has instilled a trust in his sincerity, especially in Europe and did a great job of schmoozing Trump until it became impossible not to stand against him over this current war.

Growth is currently the best in the G7
Immigration which shot up after Brexit now falling
illegal immigration falling
Trust with European partners slowly being restored

I think he lacks political instinct and charisma but is doing a good job in hugely difficult circumstances, and most of all may be one of the last public servant politicians we get to see.

Just my own views, I see many 'non main stream' news, I find that is more reality than what people see on national TV, of course he inherited a mess, but IMO I really think he's a complete waste of space, all IMO......
