Biggest financial crisis we've known,a decade of austerity,the pandemic,cost of living crisis that's getting worse....
What do we need ? Reheated Blairism...fecking useless.
You continually attack Starmer as being bland, which he undoubtedly is, but that is missing the point completely. Blandness is his USP, chosen as a deliberate antithesis to Johnson and Corbyn, one of which he has replaced, and the other he wants to, and, like it or not, it seems to be doing him and the party no harm in the view of a large number of the electorate. You and I and many others may think that he should be a lot more daring in his policy statements, but he, and his advisers, disagree knowing he cannot satisfy everyone so will settle for the majority...both within the Party and the electorate, and will willingly soak up the insults of the dissatisfied minority if it helps him in his aim of getting Labour back into power.
Imo his biggest problem is not that he is like Blair, but that he is not like Blair with his early political nous and communication skills (obviously without the war he later lied us into).
You never know, but reheated Blairism might actually be attractive to a lot of people. That is one of the awkward things about democracy, the outcomes are not what everyone wants.
