Yeah. He is out of his depth. He needs to improve, fast. I also think his speech will inflame things. If he was trying to pour oil on troubled waters he has made things worse. He couldn't even be bothered to talk to Southport residents either. Flowers for a photo opp and away. I am no fan of Blair, but when he faced those situations he talked to people.
I just don't think Starmer has the emotional intelligence or nous to lead a country. His CPS wa shambolic. Ask Thornberry, she was scathing, which is probably why he did not take her into Government. A thin-skinned man.
