Keir Starmer and his lack of inspiration

Labour have done well in the local elections.  While things could have been better, the results indicate a probable Labour majority when the Conservatives finally call a General Election.  

Conservative MP's have joined Labour and many on the left feel that Labour have moved too far to the centre, some considering it to have moved across to the right.  Many neutrals are not enthused by Keir Starmer in the way that Boris Johnson excited the electorate,  but Labour should sell the dependable aspect of him rather than hiding from it. 

When it comes to policies, Labour are keeping their cards close to their chest.  It is not just because the Conservatives steal Labour ideas, but I suspect that Labour know that if they take power in the general election, that they are going to inherit a mess.
