It is perfectly possible to be delusional and realistic at the same time. By claiming the credit for any Labour victory at the next General Election, Keir Starmer is clearly away with the fairies. Yet by holding onto his Commons seat, Starmer is realistically admitting both that the Greens would win a by-election at Holborn and St Pancras, although that would not bother him, and that he himself was, if not unemployable, then badly in need of a guaranteed floor of £98,599.
Starmer nominated Andy Burnham for Leader in 2015, he was then a Shadow Home Office Minister under Burnham in the early Corbyn days, and he now says that he wants to carry on as a backbench MP. But he could not possibly do so in the party that was governing against his record. He really did come to politics very late in life.
Although he has easily mastered the dishonesty. Political or moral bankruptcy is a matter of opinion, but financially the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn was in the black for the first time since the 1970s. It has been under Starmer that, despite huge corporate and individual donations, Labour has returned to an overall deficit approaching four million pounds. Starmer is still lying. Politically, financially and morally bankrupt, indeed.
