Blow for Sir Keir Starmer as just one in five voters say he’s been a good Labour leader, poll shows

JUST one in five voters think Sir Keir Starmer has been a good Labour leader – and most haven’t a clue what he stands for.

A wounding YouGov poll reveals just two per cent believe the Opposition chief’s three years in charge have been “great” and 20 per cent say “good”.

It is less than the 28 per cent who reckon he has been either a “poor” or “terrible” party leader. 

While steadily improving, 47 per cent of Brits say Sir Keir has done a “bad” job setting out his vision for the country, with just 31 per cent saying he has done well.

The Labour leader recently laid out his five missions for government should he win the next election.

They hone in on growth, green energy, the NHS, crime and education. 

But he has been dogged by relentless accusations of flip-flopping from supporting freedom of movement to wanting Shamima Begum to return to the UK. 

The Tories have drawn up a dossier of 32 supposed u-turns during his three-year tenure.

Conservative chairman Greg Hands said: “Sir Slippery will say anything if the politics suits him.

“We’ve had three years of inconsistency and opportunism from Labour – flip flopping back and to on the most important issues we face.”

A Labour spokesperson hit back: “There’s as much crap coming from Tory HQ than what they’ve allowed to be pumped into British rivers.”

Labour strategists have been told they need to win over “Stevenage Woman” to win the next election.
