I'm sure one of his prime objectives was to win back all the "red wall" areas of England that Johnson and his spin doctor(s) duped in 2019 using the bogus Brexit argument to "win them over". But IMO he is "stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea" with lotsa members positioned to the left of the party and opposing Brexit. The LP is effectively a political party with two different political ideologies within it and, as you say, Starmer is not the unifier that many people perceived him to be. He is not even close to emulating a smarmy piece of a previous Labour PM named Tony Blair who was a real sleekit beastie with a unifying plan all these years ago before he finally became the Brit PM. Perhaps the Labour Party should naturally fragment into two different political entities? Even up here in Scotland I think there is no senior SLP official of any kinda high standing who is strong enough to propose breaking away from their "ruling party" in London and going it alone in a Scotland with a totally different political landscape and with a new young generation of Scots, age group 17-45 (about 75%) fast coming to the fore in backing Scot independence and with a common extreme response to anyone actually asking why - lotsa them seriously regarding it as a stupid question.
