Three in Five Think Labour Will Lose Next Election, Poll Shows
Three in five people already expect Labour to lose the next General Election, according to a poll, after a shocking start that saw Free-Gear Keir’s approval ratings plummet. The Telegraph has the story.
60% of voters believe Sir Keir Starmer’s party will not manage a second term in power, less than three months after its landslide election victory.
The poll, by the More in Common think tank, also found more than half of respondents did not believe Sir Keir would lead Labour into the next election.
48% of those surveyed said they believed he would still be Prime Minister by the next election, with 52% saying they did not.
Labour has endured a difficult start in government amid a row over Lord Alli, the Labour Peer and millionaire donor, donating thousands of pounds towards clothes for Sir Keir.
It emerged earlier this month that the Prime Minister broke Parliamentary rules by initially failing to declare more than £5,000 towards clothing that the Peer had given to Lady Starmer.
Further damage was done by the revelation that Sue Gray, Sir Keir’s powerful Chief of Staff, is being paid £3,000 more than him.
He also suffered the biggest rebellion of his premiership a fortnight ago as dozens of Labour MPs refused to support taking winter fuel payments away from 10 million pensioners.
The More in Common research found that almost one in five Labour voters (17%) now regretted their decision to back the party [just 17%?], with Sir Keir’s net approval rating down to –20 points. It had been as high as 11 points in late July after his landslide win.
But his honeymoon period proved short-lived, with the public now more likely to think that he is doing a “somewhat bad” or “very bad” job.

Oh, geez, what a useful piece of news.
A poll of what people think will happen in four years time.
On a topic that, despite conventional wisdom, will have no effect on my life because, you know, Team A, Team B, same shit.
For example, IF the poll of what will happen in four years time is right and Team B get voted back in, big IF, then we’ll still get self destructive, batshit crazy Net Zero policies. And it’s obviously batshit crazy as this simple graph illustrates:
I am not convinced there will be an election in 2029. The days of “democracy” are over as the Andrew Bridgen article which I posted BTL in the Roundup makes clear.
Even if we are allowed a vote what is the point? Uniparty voting. North Korea in disguise.
The old system is dead and we need a revolution to change things, violent or otherwise.
Don’t worry, if Trump and Tulsi get into power, the yapping little poodle that is the uk government, will be cut loose and unable to cause too much trouble.
Bridgen tells it like it really is ! However he seems to be too hot a potato for Farage which is a worry !!
So is Tommy….I hear they have been slagging each other off this weekend.
As Mark Steyn puts it, “they all agree on the big stuff”…..In bed with the WEF crowd.
But if you are still an optimist the poll suggests that another party, or coalition, could find winning the next General Election easier.
All they have to do is avoid repetitive criticism of the present Labour Government as their Unique Selling Point and instead propose foundational reforms leading to a small, nimbler, less bureaucratic state. Normally I’d say that the Establishment would resist this – but after 5 years of socialist government the unthinkable may once again become thinkable.
Six million people voted Tory at the last election, despite more than a decade of failure, lies and medical totalitarianism. Millions of other voted for Socialist Greens, Socialist Lib Dems, Socialist SNP, Socialist Plaid Cymru, Socialist Sinn Fein, Socialist SDLP.
Since they won the election it’s just been disaster after disaster, with one slap in the face to the British public after another. What else can we expect in this excruciating car crash of a performance from Labour before whoever displaces them next? I think it’s a case of ”give them enough rope and they’ll hang themselves”. Starmer, Reeves, Rayner, Lammy, Phillips ( list not exhaustive ), they just continually prove how totally inept, unpleasant, callous and corrupt they are. We’re not supposed to like the people we vote for necessarily, but an expectation that they’re capable of doing their job so that citizens won’t be worse off is a basic requirement, surely? Bit late for ‘buyer’s remorse’ too, although maybe people that voted for them didn’t foresee things being quite this abysmal. Agree with Dr Philip here; ”Labour are so bad it’s hard to keep up. It’s not just the sleaze. You expect greed galore from grabbing socialists. No. It’s the sheer bovine stupidity. Ok, you expect that too – but never in my wildest dreams could I have foreseen this utter sh*tshow. I almost feel guilty for enjoying it so much. I have to keep reminding myself that… Read more »
They are taking a bit of a risk re the state pension reform, but Reeves defended the policy in her Labour conference speech this afternoon. What they don’t know (and no proper meteorologist does either) is what the heating requirements will be through the season ahead. On the other hand, the triple lock pension increase is above CPI into next year, with salary increases being the link this time, and the BoE interest rate is actually above inflation for the time being.
Reeves tried that one and claimed pensioners will be better off by taking £300 off them. Except, it isn’t 300 is it? Take away 300 and you decrease the total. She claimed they would be better off by £1700 in 5 years time but that is a blatant lie.
£300 x 5 = 1500
£1700 – £1500 = £200
This is not rocket science. An increase of £200 over five years is a joke and means Pensioners will die and not be able to afford to live.
What’s the score with his wife, I hear she has good taste in clothes, or is that because a gay man has bought them. I hear he keeps her at bay when visiting Muslims. There are two ways of looking at that; as a security issue, understandable, but there is also the issue of appeasement of an intolerant bunch who want to wipe people like her off the face of the earth.
Oh dear. Gary Neville is both a Labour Party member and a denialist, it would seem;
”Football Gary Neville defends UK Labour Party after the scandal involving MP’s receiving free gifts.
“It seems to me that they’re being given a bit of a rough ride on certain things that the previous government didn’t seem to be given a rough ride on.”

If ever there was a deluded arsehole to match Lineker it is Neville. Why do multimillionaires always think they are one of the lads, one of us? He almost certainly spends more on dinner than a pensioner used to get to keep themselves from freezing.
She’s a Jew which makes me laugh / cry when I think how blatantly antisemitic the Labour party is.
I always have to remind myself his wife is Jewish. I wonder if she’s one of those Jews that hates other Jews..’anti-Zionist’? I’ve never understood the mentality of a Jew begrudging the Jewish people for having a country of their own. It’s like the white, indigenous Britons who are up for replacing and wiping themselves out with a continuous influx of third world migrants, because you can never be too culturally enriched. Massive traitors, in other words. It makes no sense to me at all, but that’s a can of worms for another day.
But the fact she’s married to somebody who not only is very invested in brown-nosing the Muslim community because he bent over for Islam years ago, but also who spent a good portion of his previous career blocking deportations of criminals and stopping rapists, paedophiles and murderers from being sent down, so this doesn’t reflect well or give me a positive impression of her either.
A more pertinent question would be: ‘Do you think there’ll be a credible alternative to Labour at the next GE?’. Perhaps with a follow-up question of: ‘What policies will distinguish any alternatives?’
Reform were credible, IMO, but six million “conservatives” voted for the “Conservative” party instead.
Labour didn’t win the last election – not with only 21% of the electorate – the so-called Conservatives lost it.
The question is will the Conservatives lose the next election too?
The Conservatives are Reform.
The Conservatives are Reform.
Reform are the conservatives.
One wonders how many of those among the “Three in Five Think Labour Will Lose Next Election” will still be alive in four years time. Bearing in mind that a large number of DT readers live in a Sunset Home, probably two in five.
Well, it’s a certainty that Reeves won’t be Chancellor by Summer. Starmer will try to hang on and he’ll maybe get to Christmas. The booing at the Conference today tells you everything you need to know. The Unions hate him and, for some bizarre reason, want the foul-mouthed thief with appalling dress sense – or was it just that the appointed personal shopper went to Specsavers?
Someone called it on DS a while back that Sir Kneel won’t last full term & they will bring Khant in to steady the sinking labour ship ( only trouble would be that the UK will already be sunk by then)
The Khant and Burnham both have an eye on the top job. Burnham pops out for an occasional dig at Kneel but is essentially waiting for the real break down moment. He knows he has his Greater Manchester kingdom stitched up so he will always ensure he has that position to fall back to. The Khant is in a similar position but without quite the same degree of security.
Five years is a long time….
The next election has already been lost by Labour. The issue now is which party can put forward the most comprehensive, cohesive and sensible manifesto to put money in peoples pockets.
I’ll be voting Reform but, as I said in a comment whilst watching the Conference, they need far more than just immigration. They need professionals, they need policies in all areas and, crucially, they need to convince people their ideas will work.
At the end of the day, if, as Labour have shown, you cannot deliver and you have no policies you are doomed. Labour will never be forgiven for what they have already done and the massacre to come in October. Reform have to seize the opportunity, it won’t come again.
