Whether that will matter to British voters remains to be seen
Power, they say, has its own charisma. So far it doesn’t seem to have rubbed off on Sir Keir Starmer. When Sir Keir gave his speech at the Labour Party conference this week, several things quickly became clear. It was clear that he copes niftily with a glittery stage invasion. It was clear that he is a nice and good man . But most of all it was clear that, even covered in glitter, he is still pretty dull. What is not yet clear is whether this will matter.
In a sense, it is hard to be. Most conference speeches offer little more than “mood music”, says Sam Leith, a journalist and author of “You Talkin’ To Me? Rhetoric from Aristotle to Obama”. This is partly because mood music sounds nice and costs nothing, but it is also because the “nuts-and-bolts stuff is terrifically boring”.
