Getting house in order

Keir's tale of slow but sure recovery has to trump Farage's easy solutions

- 

n Star Wars, C-3PO, a droid who speaks six million languages, tells Luke Skywalker: "I'm not very good at telling stories. Not at making them interesting."

Keir Starmer may lack C-3PO's linguistic skills but he is bright with a good plan for Britain. He needs to get better at telling stories, though.

Our poll today shows that a year into government, most people don’t know what Mr Starmer is for, or whether he shares their values.

Starmerism is about ditching quick fixes and finding long-term solutions to Britain's big problems.

For decades we've been run by people who paint over cracks while the house foundations rot. When Labour got in, the damp was starting to show, the electrics were hazardous and the windows falling out.
