Labour’s Poll Lead Wiped Out
More schadenfreude for those Tories who simply can’t get enough of this feeling after 100 days of Keir Starmer’s premiership – Labour’s poll lead has vanished. The party is now neck and neck with the Conservatives. The Spectator’s Steerpike has more.
Happy 100 days of Labour being in power! To mark this auspicious occasion, the British electorate have decided to give Keir Starmer a present that he really did not want – the end of Labour’s lead in the polls after a whopping 934 days. Yes, that’s right: the Starmer army have led in every single survey since March 2022 when Boris Johnson was gripped by his partygate woes. The subsequent Liz Truss debacle saw Labour’s lead climb to 30 points, with Rishi Sunak regularly suffering 20 point deficits. Yet after less than four months in office, that trend has now been completely reversed. Guess governing is harder than it looks eh Keir…
Worth reading in full.
The Express also has the story:
Sir Keir Starmer has had a nightmare start to his new government with a bombshell new poll revealing Labour’s recent huge lead over the Conservative Party has totally collapsed.
Historically new governments that have swept to victory in a General Election are afforded somewhat of a honeymoon period before the going gets tough.
But a new poll has revealed that goodwill for Labour has already crashed – just 100 days after taking office – with results likely to leave Sir Keir red-faced.
Polling by the More in Common think tank has delivered a devastating assessment of Labour’s first 100 days in power, reports the Times.
According to the survey of more than 2,000 people, Labour’s poll lead has crashed as the party is now tied with the Tories on 27% each. Reform UK is on 21%.
Tomorrow’s ‘global investment summit’ was supposed to be the beginning of a ‘reset’, in which Sir Keir shows how serious he is about attracting foreign investment into the British economy. But that’s turned out to be another culsterf***, thanks to the impolitic remarks of Louise Haigh, the Transport Secretary, who described P&O as a “rogue employer”, prompting a row with P&O’s parent company, DP World, who then threatened to boycott the summit.
Jonathan Reynolds, the Business Secretary, did the rounds of Westminster television studios this morning, trying to smooth things over. Predictably, it did not go well. The Mail has more in a story headlined: ‘Another Day, Another Labour Meltdown.’
