“Gloomy Labour Loses Hope as Boris Johnson Upends U.K. Politics
Senior figures in Keir Starmer’s U.K. opposition Labour Party already see little hope of winning back power in the next general election as many as three years away.
One Labour official privately gave the party “zero” chance of beating Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservatives, while a member of Starmer’s top team in Parliament gloomily called it an “uphill battle.” They and others spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
The problem Labour officials see is the near-impossible task of competing with Johnson, a man who has upended the rules of normal politics.“
