Labour’s been taking a beating in the court of public opinion, and the latest figures make grim reading for Sir Keir and his cronies. According to YouGov’s latest poll, nearly a quarter of Labour voters (23%) now admit they see their own party unfavourably. A whopping two-thirds (67%) think Labour couldn’t care less about older voters. No surprise there…
It’s a sharp shift since July’s General Election. Back then, 47% had a favourable view of Labour, with 46% against. Fast forward a few months, and the tables have turned: only 34% still think positively about the party, while a damning 57% now have a negative opinion. Meanwhile, Starmer’s approval rating is now down by 45 points since first becoming Prime Minister at -26% – lower than Nigel Farage‘s net approval rating. Labour’s shine is fading fast…
Labour are continuing to smash new records. Over 10,000 illegal migrants have now crossed the English Channel since they took the keys to Downing Street, bringing the total this year to 23,598. Over 100 more in Starmer’s first 75 days than Boris’ first year in government…
Meanwhile, Home Secretary Cooper still can’t detail a proper plan, refusing to say when the numbers will come down. Empty slogans like “smashing the gangs” clearly aren’t working. Labour’s achievements so far: popularity plummeting in record time, releasing record numbers of criminals from prison early, and now hitting the 10,000 Channel crossings mark…
Starmer’s popularity is in freefall, as Labour’s polling has plummeted to an average below 30%—something no new governing party has managed in over 40 years, according to PollBasePro. In just 70 days, Starmer’s Labour is already under the 30% mark. Here’s how long it took for other governments to hit the same level in the past after a general election:
That’s approximately 11 times faster than the average of 765 days. Releasing criminals, no plan to cut down immigration and the on-going cronygate saga probably hasn’t helped…
Perpetual moaner Diane Abbott, Mother of the House, has taken up whinging about Labour again, after a brief pause following her return of the whip. Speaking at the Southbank Centre in London yesterday, Abbott trotted out the familiar grievance: “there is no doubt that there’s institutional racism in the Labour Party.” Conveniently leaving out the fact she herself spent over a year under investigation for… racism. Naturally, she labelled that inquiry as racist as well…
Abbott went on to accuse Starmer of being “harsher than Tony Blair” in his purge of the Corbynistas, stating that “the Left of the party is on the downturn at the minute.” Someone grab the tissues..
A Survation survey of 102 Labour MPs reveals that the Tobacco and Vapes Bill is considered the lowest priority, with 48% ranking it at the bottom—three times more than those who placed the Skills Bill second to last. Shock to no one that cracking down on peoples’ freedoms is not as important as energy, crime and employment…
Meanwhile, Starmer is facing yet another rebellion from his own MPs, as Mary Glindon has tabled an early day motion in Parliament voicing opposition to the plans to ban outdoor smoking — a nanny-state move that could see three pubs shutting down each week if it came into force. Starmer should listen to his MPs. His puritanical urge to control Britons’ lives is not what his party, or the public, wants…
No surprises here – criminals freed early are now openly praising Labour for throwing open the prison gates. Djaber Benallaoua, a convicted drug dealer, has been let loose six months ahead of schedule and wasted no time in declaring himself to the Daily Mail a “lifelong Labour voter” thanks to Starmer’s inmate release scheme. The 20-year-old, fresh out of HMP Isis, gleefully celebrated the “very good” policy and boasted that he’s “gonna get lit” to mark his newfound freedom. One way of getting votes…
