No, instead Starmer gets Richard Burgeon and Diane Abbott talking about emergency conferences and leadership challenges less than a year into his PMship.
Look, I don't think Starmer is perfect, but let's not pretend he's not dealing with the exact same factionalism that Corbyn dealt with. Starmer is just doing a bit better at managing it.

I'm sorry but the idea that the PLP under Starmer has been anywhere near as unruly as it was under Corbyn is ridiculous. Corbyn faced a coup in 2016—again, less than a year into his premiership—for receiving poll results not dissimilar to Starmer's latest Survation poll.
Yes, Starmer is better at managing the PLP, but that is only made possible by the fact that he represents the dominant wing of the party.

Starmer is being more ruthless in getting rid of people who don't fall in with what he wants. Is that good management? Not necessarily.

He doesn't have MPs like Wes streeting and Jess Phillips constantly saying in any paper that will listen that he's shit, so I guess that's better management?
