Starmer's premiership defined by prevarication and broken state deference
By

Summary
The article criticizes Keir Starmer's premiership, arguing that his leadership is defined by prevarication and deferring to a broken state. Following Labour's poor local election results, Starmer's pledges—such as putting the UK at the "heart of Europe" without altering Brexit red lines, and renationalising British Steel "subject to a public interest test"—are presented as hollow and contradictory. The piece makes the case that state reform is more necessary than ever.
