"Fairly or unfairly, he is despised by much of the public"

And let's be honest, Keir Starmer was never a popular leader of the Labour Party.He was never a popular Prime Minister.He put the Labour Party into a position where it could win, but he largely won by default because the Conservatives imploded.He was never much liked by the public.And frankly now, if you talk to any Labour MP or nearly any Labour MP and they are frank with you, they will tell you that fairly or unfairly, he is despised by much of the public.And we see that from the polling and the qualitative and the quantitative data.

And my own view is, is that there is no way back for him and that.And the Labour Party has a choice.

Drill down into some of these results and you will see something that even at Jeremy Corbyn's nadir did not happen, which we are seeing wipe out in local authorities that have been dominated by the Labour Party for 50 years or more.And the Labour Party has a decision to make about whether they want him and want to allow him for the ship to go down with him in Downing Street.
