The Party

In one of his first acts as Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer announced he would not indulge in opposition for opposition's sake.

This Was a decisive break from his own party, in the recent past.

But now he wants to create more distance between the government and the opposition.

Some say they have a more hostile, less friendly tone detected, compared to Boris Johnson , the, by Sir Keir.

he has not "suggested That the Prime Minister handle". At Prime Minister 's questions today, he was undermining the Public Trust in its own government with its actions, just at The Time when it is most needed.

said, But in truth, Sir Keir's policy of "constructive criticism" tend to be more the latter of the two words at PMQs stress.

And his approach to today's session had so much in common with his approach to a mark, if things go wrong.

Sir Keir called for an Exit Strategy from the government for a long time, as some of his own MPs - and certainly members to see him clash with No 10 more robust to issues of The Day .

He now feels validated because he believes That the lack of a strategy - "identify an exit without a strategy", as he puts it - clearly.

The Labour leader of the advance is determined to stay a step, the government.

So, by raising questions now about the easing of the closure, while doubts about the alert level and the effectiveness of The Track -and-trace system, it is the positioning of The Party to distance itself further from the government's approach, if it goes up.

But it is true That his tone hardening, compared to Boris Johnson himself.

labour insiders say it is not so much the result of a Strategic Change , But is borne from a sense of frustration with the Prime Minister in the last days.

As part of the "constructive criticism" approach, the Labour leader sent a letter to Boris Johnson on the 18. May on the re-opening of the schools.

At PMQs, Sir Keir said That he did not receive a response.

The Labour leader was also annoyed by The Way of advice to those who have been released shielding without the right advice.

And he is irritated by what he perceives as an attempt by the PM to shift responsibility for The Crisis away from The Door of No 10 to local councils, officials, and private individuals.

So, my Lord tried to Keir, to ensure That , when things go wrong, and there are local lock and/or a higher infection rates in the coming weeks, the buck has to stop Downing Street.

And this all seems part of a larger narrative, which he has pursued -That the government is too slow to be in lockdown and potentially cavalier in easing it.

At PMQs, it's answer to Boris Johnson , the task, Sir Keir questions.

But there are questions for the Labour leader.

Some of his political opponents find it frustrating That it seems to be the Labour leader and not the Prime Minister , is That he has his cake and eat it.

While Sir Keir, the focus was say, on the government's handling of The Crisis , its critics, it has less control of what he would do instead.

For example, he has. a lack of consultation about the re-opening of the schools

He is also concerned about the impact of the closures on the education of disadvantaged students in particular.

But if he was Prime Minister , he would have led from The Front and pushed for the partial re-opening? Or would councils and trade unions had an effective veto?

far off, though, he's priorities in a sweat over inspiration?

Sir Keir some of the heavy lifting has done to his party, has proven the appearance of a more effective resistance, and That he can sweat make Boris Johnson .

His own Stand in the polls, it will - But his party is still behind the Conservatives.

So Far , the more positive measures That are necessary to give a new rally converts to his banner were less obvious.

of course, he spoke about the appreciation of the workers in the public sector, and the rebuilding of the economy has passed in a fair manner after The Crisis .

He will seek to "winning The Peace ".

But while we see a laser-like focus on the government, the alleged misconduct, Sir Keir's own vision for the UK is very blurry.
