Sir Keir Starmer was not just sounding off at civil servants insiders claim.

He was trying to confront gloomy public perceptions that governments can't really make much difference to our lives.

The prime minister has very publicly set the priorities now so no one can "wriggle away from the fact No 10 will be in charge".

Sir Keir 's apparent irritation act has caused genuine upset in Whitehall .

A senior official warns "it looks like cakeism" the prime minister wants to have it all ways, and doesn't want to be defined, or choose what he is really about.

A former senior official describes him as a "sole trader" in politics who will do what is required in a particular moment.
