Without a clearer sense of direction, Labour's doomed. So, by far the best thing that these two could do now would be to stop worrying about how best to become PM if and when Starmer eventually goes and instead think really, really hard about what they would do were they chosen to replace him.

I was in Canada recently. Without exception, all the Canadians I spoke to stand squarely with Carney. They’re genuinely proud of him because he doesn’t suck up to Trump and he’s seen as being on their side, acting in their best interests.
