My concern (or one of them at least) with Starmer is that he comes across as very wooden. I don't doubt that he's intelligent, analytical, well-prepared, etc but he just comes across as so dull. Watching his "jokes" in the budget response speech was painful.
I guess it's possible that, up against Johnson, he'll attract those that are looking for something a bit deeper than a slightly humorous but meaningless soundbite but I'm not sure there's enough of them.
I'm not sure what the solution is, maybe an acting coach or something (although I imagine if that was revealed he'd get all sorts of stick for it).
