These days, the only thing that can stop the Labour Party, it seems, is the Labour Party.
For more than a year, the leader of Britain’s main opposition party, Keir Starmer, has sat on a double-digit lead in the polls over the Conservative Party.
“The question is, can he come back next week fighting?”Labour still holds a double-digit lead over the Conservatives in polls.
It could swiftly regain its stride with victories in two parliamentary by-elections on Thursday, both of which it is expected to win.
But Labour’s setbacks are a reminder that with a general election still at least a few months away, Mr. Starmer cannot take anything for granted.
