Sir Anthony Seldon, a political biographer, harshly criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Newsnight, labeling him as "fundamentally incompetent". He highlighted how Starmer's tenure has been marred by multiple U-turns on significant issues, including winter payment cuts and national grooming gang scandals. Seldon asserts that Starmer's lack of vision and narrative prevents clear communication with the public regarding Labour's direction. He believes that no Labour prime minister since 1945 has initiated their term as poorly as Starmer, underscoring the seriousness of his critiques.
"No Labour prime minister, certainly not since 1945, has begun so badly."
"If there was a clear vision that he'd laid out, a story about where he is taking the Labour Government and the country, people perhaps might understand why this cut was necessary. But there have been so many flip-flops, they don't get it."
