The Case for Replacing Keir Starmer

If Labour MPs don't act soon then they risk losing their century-long position as the dominant party on the left of British politics

The public have made their minds up about the Prime Minister.

According to the latest polls Keir Starmer has a favourability rating of minus 48 - the worst of any party leader by some distance.

It’s not all bad news. There is one other senior politician who is even more unpopular.

Unfortunately that politician is his own Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, who has an even worse rating of minus 51.

I only set these facts out because whenever I criticise this Government I am accused by Starmer’s supporters of pushing a false media narrative about its unpopularity.

However, the truth is that you don’t actually need opinion polls to work out what the public really thinks about this Prime Minister and his Government.

All you need to do is to look at the results of actual elections that have taken place over the past year.
