I no longer keep up with the news particularly strongly but this matches my impression. Starmer's Labour seem to be hoping to gain power by being bland enough to fly under the radar while people are fed up of the Conservatives. This is probably not a bad strategy, given the state of the press in the UK, but it isn't exactly anything to be excited for. From the policies which aren't vague gesturing about Change, it seems like the main change we're going to get is the colour of tie the prime minister wears.
