It depends what you mean by “make it” - Starmer didn’t begin his political career until 2015, when he was voted in as an MP - and within 5 years, he had already “made it” to the top job of Leader for his Party.
Not many MPs make it from the backbenches to the front benches as quickly as he did and very few get a shot at the Party Leader’s job.
Plenty of backhanders then Boot…
Do you make it up as you go along ?
Easy for you to say … impossible for you to prove … 
Why would I want to prove it Omah? It doesn’t take a Ms Marple to wonder that his rise to fame seemed quite astounding. As Boot pointed out, he made it to party leader within 5 years…There are many local MP’s who win a seat in their constituency and are consigned to the back benches for years…
There’s obviously been a conspiracy … 
No conspiracy Omah (although the word comes off your keyboard quite often) Just a few greased palms. Or perhaps deals done on the golf course…
Unsubstantiated assertions … 
Or a dearth of suitable alternatives.

Thanks for explaining, Boot.
I’d never even heard of that title.
Might also be a newer version of Tony B Liar … undercover Tory lol
I more or less intimated that in my original post #1.
