I think you might see some attempt at a “reformation” from within Labour. A sort of reckoning for “New Labour” for want of a better phrase. Starmer of course is significantly different to New Labour in terms of labour market, housing, industrial policy, nationalisation, and is raising a lot more in tax.
But it might not save him. His judgement with Mandelson was called out by lots of us at the time. But I’ll take that over someone pissing about with borrowing costs and defence.
