The honeymoon didn't last long for Keir Starmer, it has come to a climatic conclusion - last week in the wake of the killing of three young children in Stockport. As Harold Macmillan, the prime minister famously said many years ago regarding politics coming out of the blue "events events dear boy". Just so with the latest riots. The political commentators Steve Richards, in his latest podcast is able to put Starmer, into a historical context and his previous role as Director of Publicublic Prosecution. He doesn't have the natural empathy of Blair or Cameron and is more like Brown and May. Will these riots run out of steam in the near future? In my opinion they will, nevertheless it's a real test for this new administration the - honeymoon is definitely over.
