What Sir Keir can learn from the Kamala calamity

The Independent  

Labour has begun an intense debate about the lessons it must learn from the defeat of its sister party, the Democrats, in the US election. To the UK list, we can add the NHS – the symbol of Labour’s pledge to improve public services, on which it will be judged at the next general election. But when a former Independent colleague asked me recently who would succeed Starmer, I replied: “The contest will be dominated by Labour’s need to have its first female leader, as Angela Rayner battles it out with Rachel Reeves. Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s chief of staff, wants Labour to run as “insurgents” – to see off the threat from the populists, such as Reform UK, to its right, and the Greens on its left flank. Starmer’s cabinet will soon take a crucial decision that will shape Labour’s strategy for 2029: what should become of the five missions at the heart of this year’s election offer.

The Independent  

When Sir Keir Starmer unveiled six policy milestones in his “plan for change” this month, any targets to reduce legal and illegal migration were conspicuous by their absence.

The Independent  

The extraordinary poll showing Reform UK has overtaken the Labour Party in popularity can be attributed to many factors.
