There is indeed an open goal in front of Starmer right now but exploiting it consists of making a lot of noise about Boris still being in the job, not seriously expecting him to go until the Tory leadership election is finished. The moment Boris is out of Downing Street Starmer has to find something else to shout about. Politically it suits him for Boris not to go early, regardless of any public pronouncements he might make.

What if he wins the confidence vote and decides there is no reason to go ?
