Sir Keir Starmer has made Britain’s Labour Party electable again. But to distinguish himself from Rishi Sunak and to change the country for the better, he still has some hard choices to make
, he focuses as much on the “how” as the “what” of government. That is partly in response to the political chaos of recent years—the combination of Brexit, Boris Johnson and Liz Truss has made stability seem sexy. But it is also central to Sir Keir’s diagnosis of what ails Britain: a short-termist and siloed approach to government.
Sir Keir’s overhaul of Labour speaks to the question of competence, too. And it allays the fear that he is much further to the left than he cares to admit. The Tories endlessly remind people that Sir Keir served under Mr Corbyn, and that he won the leadership with a redder set of policies than those he now espouses. But he has been ruthless in.
Labour has rightly identified economic growth as the central priority, the only way to ensure that public services can be properly funded without taxes rising and rising. The party is offering a supply-side statism, in which the government works with business to identify specific policies, sector by sector, that will help boost productivity.
