Keir Starmer has shredded virtually every principle he professed to hold dear and broken almost every policy promise he has ever made.
He is a u-turning machine, a master of the reverse ferret.
There is no ideology, no guiding principles, no real vision, nothing specific he wants to achieve.
Peter Starmer is a creature of the regulatory, technocratic state, writes Simon Tisdall .
Media portraits of Starmer miss his youthful radicalism as a law student and barrister.
Far more significant was his growing enthusiasm for international and human-rights law, especially the European Convention on Human Rights .
Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras said that human-rights legislation could be used as an instrument to improve the lives of those burdened with poverty, oppression and exploitation in Britain today .
But he was promising to do so through legal activism, from up on high, through carefully wrought articles and clauses.
His developing technocratic worldview rested on the anti-democratic assumption that law and its expert practitioners are better placed to make decisions about society than the public.
