Keir Starmer’s political journey has drawn significant attention, with observations highlighting a substantial shift from his earlier association with Jeremy Corbyn’s left-wing policies to a more centrist, and even, as some claim, a “more Tory than Tony Blair” stance. This transformation is marked by a move away from the policies that were held during the Corbyn leadership, and a move towards what is seen as a more pragmatic style of politics. This shift has led to discussions about the direction of the Labour Party, and the style of leadership that Keir Starmer is providing.
