Starmer failed to get an election after party gate, the wandering hands, Liz and Kwarti incompetence.
Whether he influenced the departure of Boris and Liz is questionable - they were finally removed by Tory MPs.
He will now be sitting opposite to someone who seems balanced, intelligent, competent.
It has been easy for Starmer to ridicule the generally indefensible. He now needs to come up with some plausible policies and strategies to differentiate Labour from the current incumbents.
It is debatable whether he is up to it - he may struggle as the shadow cabinet seems dominated by shallow lightweights.
