What's unreasonable about this question?
Starmer isn't making any significant gains in the polls, so "who are these actions meant to appeal to?" is a fair concern, given that they don't seem to be connecting with an
Which of Starmer's policies or actions are intended to gain ground with "the left"?
croft-
Because it implies that an electoral strategy is to pick one group from what you've seemed to identify as tribes, rather than trying to build breadth.
Does Starmer need to gain ground with the left to win? Or does he need to gain ground elsewhere whilst trying not to alienate the left? Yes, obviously there's a question about how well he's doing that, but we've had a 'play to the base' Labour leader and it didn't work electorally. There needs to be an attempt to look more broadly.

Does he really need to gain ground with the "left"? To be brutal there aren't really many other options for them.
The Tories have a huge boost at the moment with the vaccine program going well. Labour were ahead in the polls a couple of months ago.
Anecdotally Starmer seems to be making a positive impact on a lot of those voters that Labour had lost but years away from a general election during a national crisis probably isn't a time to judge with any certainty.

Is this a genuine question?
Like any political party, it's trying to get a broad enough sector of voters to win power. The policies are then left leaning, but intended to have fairly wide support.
I think it's a bit ridiculous to say it isn't for people on the left or progressives.
But you know, maybe I'm too centrist for you, I've even voted lib dem before.
