I'm by no means a Politico so I don't know what the answer is but I'm following the newsflow on the Starmer bill today and it seems there's pretty much open revolt on his back benches from the left wing of his party. The tail wagging the dog so to speak.
It was the same under the Tories with the lunatic fringe pulling them ever further from the centre towards Farage, which wasn't particularly helpful to put it mildly. Indeed every week there seemed some ever more ridiculous pop up group of "neo con" or whatever nonsense Truss and Rees-Mogg were spouting that particular week.
Both parties describe themselves as a "broad church" but in practice what that looks like to me is that you have multiple conflicting views all the time and end up with Frankenstein legislation and policies that don't really satisfy or appease anyone.
Like I say, not a Politico and certainly don't follow UK politics as closely as some on here but rather seems to me the two party system doesn't really work for many people, least of all the MPs themselves.
You certainly couldn't run a company like this anyhow. [Post edited 1 Jul 15:27]

You’d expect the compromises to take place a little earlier in the process than a couple of hours before the vote. Especially when you have a majority of 156 to play with. It would be some take to interpret this as anything but a huge embarrassment for the govt., but I guess you could try.
I agree, the alternatives are bleak. Starmer needs to go as soon as possible otherwise we’ll end up with Farage or Badenoch as PM. |
Starmer is toast. Completely humiliated. |  | | |

"Perhaps what it does show is that the calibre of many MPs and advisers these days is not a patch on what it once was."
Very true! |  | | |
