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.

    Can you provide any source on Victoria Starmer being an Israeli. I was searching and couldn’t find anything to support that claim.

      It was mentioned she’s a double citizen in multiple news articles at one point, I’m pretty sure I even read it in the guardian, but it’s not coming up when I’m searching for it now either, just that the PM and his wife have ‘israeli family’.

          I hadn’t actualy read that one, I don’t think.

          Holy shit though, according this article Starmer’s wife’s mother converted (not an easy process in Judaism!) but apprently Starmer’s FIL and his family don’t accept her as actually Jewish? That’s not how conversion works with Judaism, if you manage to get in, you’re actually in, and if you’re a woman, any kids you have will be born Jewish.

          And not to mention converts are allowed isreali citizenship under their law of return, just like any other Jewish person.
