Starmer pins hopes on summer ‘refresh’
Sir Keir Starmer is hoping to get his premiership back on track with a summer “refresh” after weeks of setbacks and controversies...
Labour sources said the conference would be a good moment to finish the “refresh” and that Sir Keir would give the party faithful new promises on the theme of “national renewal”.
The Prime Minister’s plan for office has been modelled on his approach to leading Labour in opposition, when he ran a three-stage process to “detoxify” the party, attack the Tories and set out an alternative plan.
Now, his process involves “rebuilding” after 14 years of the Conservatives in power, setting out a vision of “renewal” for the remainder of the Parliament, and offering voters something more in a second term.
By gum, Keir Starmer is a dreary, dreary Prime Minister. To describe him as a grey, unimaginative dullard would be far too lively and colourful.
Sadly there seems to be no indication whatever that he will ever, under any circumstances, relinquish his iron grip on dull platitudes nobody takes seriously.

A refresh suggests a new paint job and perhaps a new air freshener in the loo.
What Starmer needs is a proper restructuring and relaunch. Is he the right person to pull it off or is it too far out of his comfort zone?
DJ - it seems likely that his party knows Starmer isn't the man for a proper restructuring and relaunch, although it isn't easy to imagine who would be. The party doesn't seem to attract anyone with that level of dynamic leadership.
Refresh implies that he and/or his gang were once fresh.
Doonhamer - ha ha, so it does!
