I really liked his speech yesterday. Starmer has had a problem of being a poor performer, and launching too many detailed micro-policies without context. Yesterday was about fixing both those issues, and he acquitted himself admirably on both imo.
He doesn't need to be exciting. He doesn't need to be original. He just needs to not scare enough Tory voters that they'll take a punt, and by enough of a margin that we kick their corruption out of government for a generation.
There are plenty of criticisms to make of Starmer; he's far from a perfect politician. But at this point it's like criticising a cheese and pickle sandwich because it has the wrong type of pickle on it, when the only other option for lunch is a flaming bag of shit and rocks hurled at your face by a trebuchet.
