    Given the context and the build-up, that was an embarrassing performance from Starmer.

    Only Foot, Brown, Miliband and (marginally) Blair in his final term had a worse share of the popular vote. Nowhere in sight of Wilson in 1974; nor Callaghan in 1979; nor Kinnock in 1987 or 1992.

    3.8 million less than Blair in 1997.

    3.2 million less than Corbyn in 2017.

    What's more, only 34% of the vote on a (very low) 60% turnout means Labour's 'unity' government is not supported by 80% of the electorate.

    This (along with a good kicking for the twin zombie) is good news. The crisis of legitimacy that I've often mentioned is now so blatant that only the politically corrupt or the politically stupid can fail to see it.
