After the election defeat in 2019, Stammer became the party leader in 2020 and the leader of the opposition in the parliament. In four years, he made the Labor Party a superpower. Stammer regained the Labor Party's popularity with strong positions on immigration, Brexit, economic growth, taxation, health and energy. He also regained Muslim support by taking a pro-Palestinian stance in the Gaza war.
