Faced with the difficulties of Boris Johnson, Labor Keir Starmer is preparing for the alternation

 


4:00 p.m., January 23, 2022

Who knows Keir Starmer? Elected head of Labor in April 2020 in full confinement, this ex-Attorney General for England and Wales with a very sober style has long struggled to exist against Boris Johnson. Starmer, 59, is as rigorous as the British Prime Minister is exuberant. This former lawyer who became an MP in 2015 has above all had to deal with the cumbersome legacy left by his predecessor at the head of Labour, the radical Jeremy Corbyn, accused, among other extremes, of having tolerated anti-Semitism in the ranks of the party. The Covid crisis has also left this centrist little room for maneuver in the face of a conservative government that has suddenly become very interventionist in terms of the economy.

“Last summer, Keir Starmer’s leadership seemed very precarious,” recalls Steven Fielding, professor at the University of Nottingham and Labor specialist. In May 2021, Labor lost the constituency of Hartlepool, Labour’s historic stronghold in the North East, and in the crowd they recorded poor results in local elections. Fortunately for Starmer, his party narrowly retained the seat of Batley and Spen, Yorkshire, in a by-election.

A Conservative MP from the House of Commons rallied Labor this week

On July 1, Kim Leadbeater, the sister of Jo Cox, the Labor MP assassinated by a far-right activist in 2016, beat her Conservative rival by 323 votes. Six months later, Labor is starting the year on a more solid footing. Keir Starmer has laid down his milestones and reshuffled his shadow cabinet. “He raised the level by entrusting important portfolios to experienced people like Rachel Reeves, now in charge of finance”, analyzes political scientist Steven Fielding. That said, Starmer is clearly benefiting from the rejection of Boris Johnson by readers. ‘BoJo’ has been in dire straits since press revelations of multiple Downing Street parties being held during lockdowns in 2020 and 2021.

Against the background of growing calls for the resignation of the head of government in the ranks of the Tories, on Wednesday, a conservative member of the House of Commons returned to his jacket and joined the Labor Party, an unprecedented event for fifteen years. Christian Wakeford, elected official for Bury South in the south-west of England, justified his decision by explaining that “only Labor offers solutions” to the crisis in the cost of living and the post-Covid recovery. “Conservatives don’t even talk about these issues,” he lamented. Labour’s program is still very vague. In an editorial published last week in the Guardian (centre left), Keir Starmer pledged to ‘build a UK based on safety, prosperity and respect’ and make the NHS ‘thrive again’ [le systme de sant publique]”.

Good polls for the Labor Party

It is in this context that, for just over a month, Labor has benefited from good opinion polls. A study carried out by YouGov for the Times in mid-January estimates 39% of readers ready to vote for Labor in the event of legislative elections, against 31% for Boris Johnson’s party. On Wednesday, another poll, carried out in the constituencies of the red wall, that is to say the historic lands of Labor where readers voted conservative in December 2019, confirmed a possible return to the head of the Labor Party.

Keir Starmer could still widen the gap with Johnson, or his designated successor in the Conservative Party in the event of an internal revolt, if the government does not provide a solution to the energy crisis when the gas and electricity bills of the British could soar 51% in April. Now even the right is finding virtues in Labor number one. When the Tories are looking for a new leader, the Times columnist (conservative) Janice Turner recommends that they choose someone “rigorous, serious and with enough substance to match Starmer”.
