The New Statesman has a negative view of Keir Starmer with the strapline "What Keir won't hear". He has stated clearly that he will reject all calls for him to resign, whether from within his party or beyond That should be clear enough. Compare him to the multitude of Tory PMs forced to resign.

Inspection Chamber Cover of the Day 2
