I think it's really hard to assess Sir Kier's political leadership qualities given the unusual times we're in. What makes him a weak or strong leader? He's faced down the Left in his party successfully and anti-semitism is no longer the dark cloud hanging over the party it once was so there's an argument to be made that he's a strong leader.

But will any of that translate into election-winning votes? That will become more apparent once the country returns to more normal times. There's still a lot of goodwill for Boris's government due to the vaccines. And the country is possibly more split along Remain-Leave lines than traditional Left-Right lines.

Interesting times.
