I wasn't being entirely unsarcastic there if it wasn't clear. But Starmer needs to avoid spooking Middle England and while you might regard some of things they want as radical (is not dying a fiery death really that radical? Or not pumping our rivers full of poo?) I don't think they want a radical leader, especially right now after so much instability. Starmer needs to avoid creating Mail fodder or setting the ducks running or whatever the phrase is. Britain is not lfgss or even London.
Have they?
I think all the evidence is that they want the government to be more radical; to address climate change by moving to renewables, to focus on nature and the environment to stop it being trashed and to level set the economy so that everyone can benefit from it, not just a rich elite.
