Starmer’s approval rating plummets to -48

That is significantly worse than Jeremy Corbyn’s at the same point in his leadership.

Sir Keir Starmer’s approval ratings have plummeted to their worst-ever levels this month, with 65 per cent of people polled saying he is doing badly compared to just 17 per cent who believe he is doing well.

The Labour Party suffered several disastrous results in the local elections last week, losing control of eight councils and shedding some 327 councillors all told.

The biggest defeats came in Hartlepool, where a Conservative MP was elected for the first time in 62 years, and in County Durham, which saw Labour lose overall control of the council for the first time since 1925.

Starmer has told his shadow cabinet that he takes full responsibility for the results after he met with them on Monday.

He said: “To be clear, I take responsibility. Nobody else.

“I lead the Labour Party and it is entirely on me.”

According to ‘Stats for Lefties’ his current polling numbers are eight points below what Jeremy Corbyn’s were at the same point in his leadership.

Although the numbers don’t reflect particularly well on either leader.

Keir Starmer's approval rating with YouGov is now *worse* than Corbyn's approval rating at the same point in his leadership.

Corbyn in September 2016:

Well 21%
Badly 61%
[Net rating: -40]

Starmer in May 2021:

Well 17%
Badly 65%
[Net rating: -48]

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
