This is kind of a basic politics thing really. In a lot of ways the people that win in politics are the people that control what the question is not what the answer is. As in the voters have to be asking the question you want them to ask to win. Framing the debate. That’s the key to politics. Because if they’re asking the question that you’re better on you’re going to win. Yet what they’re doing here is conceding the question to the Reform Party. They’re letting them choose the ground of the battlefield. It’s moronic.
I honestly think Keir Starmer works for Reform at this point. Or at least their financial backers. He is a straight up plant.

He’s just a fucking Tory is what it is.
He was the pro-business candidate. It wasn’t unions who paid for his leadership or election campaigns. He’s done his job now. Surplus to requirements.
from an external perspective, it seems like the left in the UK hasn’t seen a charismatic leader in a long, long time.
are they just feckless or is it economic influences like the DNC’s shenanigans?
That could only be part of the plan. Presumably Starmer has been promised board seats/partnerships in funds/a ticket to the luxury-yacht class in return for throwing the next election by the interests who expect Farage to govern as their viceroy.
Well, pandering to Nazis ended up so well last time…
Yeah and look to Germany today as well, the “middle of the spectrum” parties (SPD, CDU/CSU) are racing each other to the (far) right while the fascists are still getting ever more popular.
