Starmer clearly believes he has now firmly established his own political identity and laid the foundations for the transformation of Labour's electoral prospects – in the mould of Kinnock and Blair.
It may be that he has simply destroyed his reputation for moral and intellectual integrity – and inflicted a mortal wound on the soul of his party.
(Keir Starmer is not a leader of courage - but he may soon lead the UK)
