Sir Keir Starmer compared to HR manager
Labour's Sir Keir Starmer is facing doubts about his leadership style, with claims that he resembles a HR manager rather than a decisive leader driving the party forward. The revelations come from a new book titled Get In, which explores the Labour Party's journey to power after 14 years in Opposition.
Accusations against Angela Rayner
In addition to criticism of Sir Keir Starmer, deputy leader Angela Rayner is accused of being manipulative in the book. The authors, Patrick Maguire and Gabriel Pogrund, shed light on internal dynamics within the Labour Party, highlighting concerns about leadership and strategic direction.
Concerns raised by key figures
Key figures within Labour, including the chief of staff Morgan McSweeney, have raised concerns about Sir Keir Starmer's leadership approach. McSweeney notably compared Starmer to a HR manager and questioned his long-term ambitions within the party, sparking further debate about the future direction of Labour.
Handling of royal issues
The book also delves into how Angela Rayner approached royal matters, particularly in relation to Prince Andrew following allegations of misconduct. Rayner reportedly advocated for excluding Prince Andrew from royal duties, reflecting the complex challenges faced by Labour leadership in navigating sensitive issues.
