I hear / read stuff like this a lot almost always from those who’ve previously voted for stupid people and stupid things. The only measure by which you calibrate the ‘usefulness’ of an opposition leader is how they’re doing in opinion polls and real life elections and in those Starmer is doing very well.

I’ve really no idea how he’ll get on in government, but given the abysmal actual performance of the alternative, I think most people are willing to give him a go.
