Cruddas Critiques Starmer's Leadership as Distant from Labour Roots and Values
-
Jon Cruddas, former Labour policy chief, says Keir Starmer lacks a clear sense of purpose and seems detached from Labour's history and traditions.
-
Cruddas doubts whether Starmer can become a successful Labour prime minister due to his disconnect from the party's ethical and spiritual foundations.
-
Cruddas suggests Starmer prioritizes familiarity over challenge in his inner circle and lacks a compelling vision beyond achieving office.

Cruddas argues Starmer abandoned many of his 10 pledges from the 2019 leadership campaign after taking office.

Cruddas warns that without reconciling with Labour traditions, the party risks being "destroyed by victory" in a general election under Starmer.
