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.
Maybe Starmer is too pro-Israel, I’m not denying that bit. I just don’t think his wife’s nationality or religion is relevant. Just like I think it would be wrong to assume that Sadiq Khan favours Pakistan when he makes political decisions, just because he has Pakistani heritage.
If our next PM has a spouse with russian heritage and half the family lives in russia, and this PM then 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, is completely irrelevant to their pro-russia motives?
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.

No, my reading is just fine actually. If you want to get mad about what I’ve said, well that’s your problem I guess.
