Okay, let's hit this head-on. The unhinged abuse Starmer gets here ("War criminal" – WTF?) is amplified by two issues: 1. He replaced Corbyn, and has attempted to sweep away his rancid, toxic antisemitic legacy – possibly Starmer's greatest crime to the Stop The War Coalition

A masterstroke. It gives Johnson the election he wants (so can’t refuse?) but with no time to get his deal done. It leaves Corbyn looking like a frightened ditherer. With the LibDems offering to repeal Article 50 the GE becomes the People’s Vote we need.
