An absolute pillar of the loathed academic elite except he's right wing, loves Brexit, makes a lot of noise about hating Commies, so gets the front page of the Telegraph.

If he thinks Starmer's done more than any other leader in 300 years, he doesn't know anything about British political history.

Just a wild guess but I suspect it will continue its journey to the furthest reaches of the vicious, snarling, intolerant right, where a million soulless, piss-poor, dead-eyed hacks will be fighting over who can be the biggest cunt of them all - with a few nice receipes, music reviews and short break suggestions thown in for balance.
