PRESSURE is already being piled on new premier Sir Keir Starmer to adopt more radical policies after Labour’s general election victory today.

In the most grudging landslide in parliamentary history, Labour assembled a huge Commons majority with half a million fewer votes than Labour secured in the heavy defeat of 2019.

Profiting from the split in the right, which saw the Tories slump to a record low share of the vote, rather than any enthusiasm for Labour, Starmer’s strategy over the last few years of attacking the left was shown to be flawed.
