Whilst I quite like Kier Starmer (a little bit), and think he is significantly better than the dreadful Corbyn - he does seem to lack the essential qualities of leadership.
He can't help but qualify everything he says. In the BBC interview above, he is a pains to appear 'balanced' - to make sure everyone knows he's against organised people smuggling and uncontrolled immigration.
If he just came out and said shipping people out to Rawanda is a fucking idiotic idea, people would be able to relate to that. But he doesn't, he dithers.

This is a trap though. A lot of folks - some of which will provide votes labour needs - don't think the Rawanda plan is a shit / unethical one.
As crazy as that may sound.
By slamming it he preaches to the converted, and risks alienating folks he, regrettably, needs.
It would be better if he could outline a policy that squares the circle, somehow.

Its not possible to change the political rhetoric between now and the next general election. Especially with the media stacked in the Torys favour.
Genuinely amazed at the number of people mistaking careful consideration of what works and what does not for inaction and weakness. He's a sneering leftie elite lawyer after all...how dare he tell us that the policy we think is great is wrong!
