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.

Yeah I don't think their family would be relevant in that case. If the next PM did start supporting Russia then I would criticise them for that decision, regardless of whether family connections influenced their decision or not.

Anyway. Like I say, we don't seem to know whether Starmer's wife even has Israeli citizenship. I definitely think it would be wrong to assume she does just because she's Jewish.

But even if Starmer's wife does have Israeli citizenship, that doesn't necessarily make Starmer pro-Israel. He might be too pro-Israel, but a hypothetical Israeli wife wouldn't necessarily make him pro-Israel.
