Due to the current circumstances, Keir Starmer has become opposition leader under the radar. This may well suit him. As the government muddles through cock up after cock up, it could be good timing too.I am still learning about Starmer, but as the son of a tool maker and a nurse, he is hardly the London elitist some of the bitter Corbynistas are already labelling him.

Facebook and Twitter. It was about what a great job Boris Johnson is doing and
how proud we should all be of his leadership in dark times.
