McSweeney could have sent out Starmer dressed as Phillip II singing 'England is rubbish' in archaic Spanish and he would still have won the last election.
McSweeney is not a genius. He's a Cummings-level oddball. Voters chose Labour in droves to unseat the Tories. Simple as that.

The Epstein files show that Brexit was never a “plucky British revolt”. In reality, Brexit was fed, and empowered, by an entire class of oligarchs and autocrats, who thrive on chaos, weak regulation and brittle institutions.

When you embarked on the 'racism as a grift' career path, everything was going well, but then changed to politics for the prospect of even more money, and discovered to your horror, that the British public is not actually 68 million bots on Twitter.

So much talk about UBI appearing to stop people rioting en masse as AI really begins to bite.
But what will likely happen here in the UK, is a slight elevation of unemployment benefits, while we are left to fight among ourselves for retraining opportunities.

The big AI job swap: why white-collar workers are ditching their careers
As AI job losses rise in the professional sector, many are switching to more traditional trades. But how do they feel about accepting lower pay – and giving up a dream career?

Most people who sway left of centre and are aware of this man, know he's a self-interested berk, and like Starmer, deeply unsuitable for high office in the bizarre moment we're living through.
So he'll probably be PM sometime after May.

It's a weird situation, not entirely (but mostly) of their own making. Their comms (😬) seem to have been directed by the McSweeney/Glasman obsession with every voter post-Brexit looking/sounding/thinking like Alf Garnett (bollocks, obvs) while any good they've actually done, is neglected.

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

He's done this to himself.
Chasing the votes of bigots, racists and morons (who want nothing to do with him), while completely ignoring his natural support, because his very weird advisors told him it was a genius move.
How can an otherwise intelligent man, be so politically stupid?

I don't think things will improve for Starmer. He's obviously devoid of vision and so will continue to defer to Blue Labour oddballs.
His confidence is also visibly at rock-bottom. That's his own doing. He's boxed himself in by relying on fruitcakes who think every voter in Britain is Alf Garnett.

This nonsense again.
He's not a genius. He's not a master strategist. The country was so incredibly sick of the Tories, that it would have voted Labour if it was headed by a box of cornflakes. That's why Labour won.
Morgan McSweeney is a Cummings-level example of Dunning-Kruger.

But Glasman remains and Starmer is still shite. The upcoming election wipeout will seal their fates.
