Keir Starmer's reluctance to speak out on the Royal Family shows what kind of PM he will be ✒️ paulwaugh for ipaperviews
: “The issues that Meghan has raised of race and mental health are really serious issues and it’s a reminder I think, whether you are here in east London or in Meghan’s situation, that too many people experience racism in 21s century Britain.”
However, there were some Labour MPs who felt it was unwise for the Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition effectively put the Queen in the dock. There was also a backlash among right-wing newspapers and commentators. At his party conference a few weeks later, Starmer again led tributes, a minute’s silence and then a rendition of the national anthem. While some on the left of his party privately complained it felt like an attempt to provoke them and to politicise the Queen’s death, the leader’s team felt overall Labour had been placed back in the mainstream.
Although he is now a fully signed-up constitutional monarchist, in the tradition of former PM Clement Attlee and others, some in the party believe that doesn’t mean he should stop working to improve the system. Her Majesty had since confessed that her decision to wait eight days to visit the Welsh village, where 144 children were killed by a collapsing coal heap, was one of the “biggest regrets” of her reign. And Wilson was one of the Prime Ministers she had the closest relationships with, as she kept secret for years his intention to resign in 1976.
That’s precisely why some Labour MPs have found it baffling that Starmer now seems to feel more comfortable talking about England’s football manager than any criticism of the Royals.
