Sir Keir Starmer is more unpopular after five months in Downing Street than any other prime minister since the late 1970s, according to the latest poll.
A survey conducted between Nov 27 and Dec 4 found 61 per cent of voters were dissatisfied with Sir Keir’s performance while just 27 per cent were satisfied.
That gave the Prime Minister a net satisfaction score of minus 34.
Ipsos said it was the worst score recorded for a prime minister after five months in office in its history, dating back to Margaret Thatcher.
Sir Keir suffered a rocky five months in No 10, which included the freebies scandal, scrapping the winter fuel payment for 10 million pensioners, a Budget that increased taxes by £40 billion and Louise Haigh’s resignation from the Cabinet. » | Jack Maidment, Politics Live Blog Editor.
