Where is Keir Starmer’s book? The Labour leader said he would spell out his “vision for Britain” in print last spring, but it seems his allies were being optimistic when they told journalists the book would be out by the end of the year. Instead, Father Christmas filled the stockings of expectant hacks with biographies of Liz Truss. Here we are in the new year without so much as a title.
Labour insiders say Starmer is still scribbling away. Harper Collins, his publisher, insists the project is progressing though they won’t even give an estimate of the publication date. When I asked them when Starmer last met his editor, they would not comment.
