Starmer spent years developing the skills to build up an argument over time so that at the point in time a judge or jurors had to decide, they fell on his side. And the sincerity and values have four years to come through, and they will.

There is a lesson to be learned from the Brexit bus and Get Brexit Done. However well qualified KS is as a lawyer, he is a babe in the woods compared to a brutal campaigner like Cummings or Campbell. Indeed, Farage too knew how to exploit the anger that exists here since 2008.

Corbyn was thrown in the deep end, made some errors of course but by and large got into the swing quickly despite all the opposition against him. There's no substitution for miles on the clock in politics.

As far as I am aware, neither of them are MPs let alone leader of the opposition. One is an activist - a volunteer too, the other a paid employee.
