Starmer's problem is that he must now "do something" to show he is not boring. When objectively boring people try this they end up looking like Ed Davey.
Sam - that's it, his public persona is boring and the U-turns must have some negative impact on any attempt he makes to be more interesting.
Clem Attlee always seemed boring, didn't he? He seems to have been a decent chap who unfortunately did the country more harm than any PM before Blair.
dearieme - yes he seems to have been a decent chap. I suspect an unknown number of MPs are decent enough too, but they go with the mood of their party and social circles rather than analyse things themselves.
