As a member of Labour , I can't see that now.
He has a firmer hold on things despite his poor delivery of issues.
He has a pretty good supportive team in the shadow cabinet behind him.
Something Corbyn didn't have.
It's too near an election now to change again plus Labour would rightly be seen as more hypocritical changing leader again.
IF he lost the next election however then out straight away he'd be I'd say for sure.
However if it continues to look like Labour will win in late 2024, or possibly earlier
He'll be safe in place as leader so Labour is now stuck with him.
It will take a now colossal turnaround for Labour NOT to win or certainly be by far the largest party after the next election.
Either way the main aim now is to see this shambolic government gone for the vast majority of those IN the Labour party.
If he does just that as even just the largest party, then like Cameron in the Cons from 2010, Starmer will much more than likely have his period of government.
I'll say again too though.
If he was to adopt the overwhelming conference vote for PR as policy, then I believe he'd really walk the next election.
