Keir Starmer has been warned by senior Labour figures to stop making mistakes, before a battle over the party’s deputy leadership and amid fears the government could row back on workers’ rights.

As candidates began to jostle to replace Angela Rayner, the prime minister faced public criticism from Emily Thornberry, a potential contender, who said further mistakes from Starmer could lead to having to “hand our country to [Nigel] Farage”.

Andy Burnham also called for a “reset” and more pluralistic style, telling the Guardian that the government needed to be “listening to the heartbeat of the party”.

Reform voters are not magically going to switch to Labour because Keir wore a swastika pin and arrested some pensioners, but core voters are going to desert in droves.

He's done almost nothing for workers. Doubled down on immigration, instead of choosing a different path. Like, why try to beat reform a right wing shit stain of party at their own game. Try a left wing policy or two instead of being tory lite.

I'm not convinced it wasn't what he was hired to do

Centrists are there to nobble popular leftist policies.
