I hate Starmer and half the actions he's done so far, but I have to agree this is the best course of action for his government and certainly at this fledgling stage.

I think Jenrick is extremely unappealing and he could step on rakes for years before they ditch him.
Badenoch has very strong "arrogant yet incompetent" vibes for me and she could crash and burn in very short order.
Which to choose? Tough one.

Not quite true as braverman was in the top one of worst crazies.

I think it will be badenoch, she will then be a disaster and after that they will have a reset. Equally same likely if Jenrick gets it. The only saving grace is neither will ever be PM.

Frankly, if I were Starmer, I'd just ignore the noise


Starmer isn't the person they incite hate against and those that are directly affected can't just ignore it. If the hotel you're in is being set on fire because people have decided immigrants are to blame for their troubles, ignoring isn't a solution.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
