STEPHEN GLOVER: Suddenly, Starmer doesn't seem quite such an inept Lefty. So will he now take on Cabinet zealots like Miliband and Rayner?

Daily Mail  

Has someone been slipping a magic potion into Sir Keir Starmer’s tea? And it’s not only when talking about welfare that Sir Keir increasingly sounds like a rather Right-wing Tory. Sir Keir Starmer delivered a remarkable speech to Labour MPs about welfare on Monday, Stephen Glover writes The Prime Minister will not venture into certain issues, allowing the likes of Cabinet members Ed Miliband and Angela Rayner free rein over their briefs He has been strutting about the international stage with some conviction - including on the issue of Ukraine by showing support for president Volodymyr Zelensky Is it possible that this Government is less hidebound than we had thought, as well as more decisive and more competent? The conversion of Sir Keir Starmer to a semblance of good sense is a work in progress, and no one can say how far it will go, still less whether it will ever be completed.
