Labours problem is the same as it was towards the end of new labour. They have 2 large sections of their support who want completely different things. Who can reconcile that ?
There are problems with starmer - he's a bit too dry, probably too London and remain for the English heartland seats......yet he ticks most of the other boxes.
Brexit is going to be a shitshow, so having someone as knowledgable on the subject as Keir can be a huge asset to labour going forward.
If he can get the unions and PLP onside, he'd be a strong candidate, a real standout in terms of credibility.
