If he were able to put a cabinet minister at risk of a sacking every month I think that would excite the press enough that the narrative would change.
I'm not sure if he's interested in creating that sort of narrative or just bad at it. When I'm feelling charitable towards him I think he's focusing on re-building the broad social movement of the early 20th Century with the Labour Party as the political wing of that strategy. And I don't think this is necessarily the wrong strategy or doomed to failure, but it is slow, and it is alien to how things are done today.
When I am feeling less charitable I think he's just not very good, over promoted and in the wrong job.
