Not sure that Starmer stirs up enough passion to be hated, certainly not in the way Johnson, Truss, Corbyn were/are.
Tend to think people still don't know him, but perhaps there's just not much to know?

Final implies a tournament of some kind and so semi- and quarter- finals. Finale is the celebratory endpoint of an event.
