I don't know enough about her to make a judgement call, however that said, Labour are hemmed in by the state of the UK economy and there are few ways to generate the income for investment. Outside investment is one option, while another is growing the economy by increasing trade. They most obvious is to move closer to the EU, perhaps starting with full EU standards realignment and then to do what it takes to somehow re-enter the Single Market. Starmer has mentioned realignment in some areas but has ruled out re-entering the Single Market. That being the case, they don't have much leeway to do anything else, apart from making massive cuts, as he's ruled out tax rises.
