It comes to something when former Tory MP John Bercow looks a great improvement on the leader of the Labour Party.
He has denounced Boris Johnson as "reactionary, populist, nationalistic and sometimes even xenophobic". The Labour leader has trodden a difficult path supporting a reactionary populist nationalistic and perhaps xenophobic prime minister. When Boris started hiding behind the union jack, I am sorry to say that Starmer followed suit.
The Labour leader seems to be too busy trying to look statesmanlike to do the job of an opposition leader and judiciously oppose the government policies over
* Fire and rehire
* The blatantly racist attack on EU nationals working in the UK.
* Serial incompetence in handling of the pandemic.
* failure to do anything about social care
* hypocritically clapping the NHS while offering an insulting pay deal to NHS staff.
* (I could go on!)
