No I 100% agree with you. I think unlike previous prime ministers he was a good person and wanted to fix things. But he let himself be led astray by the right of the party, and trying to appeal to reform voters.
I was extremely disappointed when he started going on about small boats, letting the right set the narrative. After that it was just a bunch of misfires and miscommunications, like the whole thing to do with farmers now paying some inheritance tax, that was communicated very poorly and when the right decided to try and make a thing of it Starman never provided any pushback, that was a show of great weakness and should not have happened.
His time in office was exemplified by piss poor public relations, and various policies that didn’t seem like they’ve been thoroughly thought out.
Oh, that whole farmer business. I won’t say I understood the policy enough to say if it was good policy or not, but from afar the vibes were ‘don’t do anything that annoys Car-guy Clarkson’.

Hmm, yes. That worries me though. Like will a drop in, like Andy Burnham, have good policy ready to go? Hopefully so.
Even if he does have good policy coming in, and with Starmer falling on his sword, any new PM won’t have a great deal of political cache. Institutions like Treasury might well find it easier to push back against a new direction from No.10.
Anyway, its done, the wheels are in motion. Can only hope for better things to come.
