Keir Starmer's first 100 days in office: The verdict is in, and it isn't good
For the prime minister, it's been 100 days he might in many ways want to forget. By pretty much any measure, it's been a disappointing start. From opinion polls to party management to the operation of Number 10, Sir Keir has been in difficulty.
A poll out this weekend by YouGov finds nearly half of those who voted Labour in the last general election feel let down so far, while six in 10 disapprove of the government's record so far, against one in six who approve of the Starmer government.
It's possibly not a question of who tells Starmer he has to go, because experience so far suggests he won't listen. Which in turn suggests that getting rid of him may heap even more embarrassment on Labour.
Or the whole sorry shambles will go on and on embarrassing... well not all of us. Decades ago, some of us accepted that general ineptitude, transparent mendacity and astounding incompetence are ineradicable features of UK political life.

Whenever Starmer goes, I wish him well in his next career in Cat Herding.
It's not that he won't listen - it's that he won't even hear. Obviously if you are convinced that you are morally correct then anything else is automatically incorrect and beneath your attention.
He even beats Gordon Brown for ineptness, and John Major is next on the list...
He only has idiots like Lammy and Fick Ange to make him look important!
decnine - it would be fun to see him withdraw the whip from cats failing to be herded correctly.
DJ - you are probably right. "We hear things retrospectively when we have understood them" - Marcel Proust.
Scrobs - maybe that's why Lammy and Fick Ange are where they are.
