Astonishingly awful polling for Starmer, who has destroyed his favourability among everyone especially his own voters, while somehow making Farage more popular. If I was Morgan McSweeney, I would quit my job.

Some other 'highlights':

'This is the first time Keir Starmer has recorded a net negative approval rating among Labour voters.'

Labour is now even more unpopular than the lowest point of Corbyn's leadership.

EDIT:

Just so I can say 'I told you so', if:

  • There isn't an all-out war in Europe, and,
  • Starmer's still PM at the next GE

Then he will lose his own seat.

And I agreed that I couldn't find a source. Did you not see that bit?

The fact that Starmer is actively supporting and funding isreel's genocide of Palestinians, and he has isreeli family and close ties to the country, should really not be ignored though.

If our next PM has a spouse with russian heritage and half the family lives in russia, and this PM starts massively funding and politically supporting the russian invasion of Ukraine, while imprisoning pro-Ukraine reporters and protestors... would you also claim the PM having russian family and close ties to russia, was completely irrelevant to their motives?

    I did, but you still reiterated the point hence why people keep calling you out on it.

    No, I stopped mentioning his wife being usraelli after I couldn't find a source, I kept talking about half the pms family being from isrell instead, which there is a source for.

    It's like you weren't actually reading what I wrote and have been making things up to get offended with me over.
