Starmer More Unpopular After Five Months Than Any Other PM Since Polling Began 40 Years Ago
Keir Starmer is more unpopular after five months in Downing Street than any other Prime Minister since polling on the question began in the late 1970s, according to the latest survey. The Telegraph has the story.
A survey conducted between November 27th and December 4th found 61% of voters were dissatisfied with Sir Keir’s performance while just 27% were satisfied.
That gave the Prime Minister a net satisfaction score of minus 34.
Ipsos said it was the worst score recorded for a Prime Minister after five months in office in its history, dating back to Margaret Thatcher.
Sir Keir suffered a rocky five months in No 10, which included the freebies scandal, scrapping the winter fuel payment for 10 million pensioners, a Budget that increased taxes by £40 billion and Louise Haigh’s resignation from the Cabinet.
Ipsos said Gordon Brown was the second most unpopular prime minister after five months, with a net satisfaction score of minus 23, recorded in December 2007 after 10 years of a Labour Government at the beginning of the financial crisis.
Rishi Sunak came third with minus 22, which was recorded in March 2023 as he attempted to repair the economy and the Tories’ reputation in the wake of Liz Truss’s chaotic mini-Budget.
Ms. Truss was not included in the Ipsos league table because her tenure in No 10 was too short.
Boris Johnson recorded a score of minus 20 in December 2019 amid ongoing Brexit paralysis before his general election victory with the promise to “get Brexit done”.

Stop Press: Labour has today ruled out compensation for 3.8 million ‘WASPI’ women who claim they lost thousands of pounds because of changes to the state pension age, despite the party previously promising to ‘right the historic wrongs’ while in opposition. The right decision, perhaps – but yet another broken promise that won’t be forgotten by the women who were misled into voting Labour based on a false prospectus. And they wonder why they’re so unpopular.
Here’s Rachel from Accounts making the pledge in 2020.
And Liz Kendall in 2019, the Work and Pensions Minister who made the announcement in Parliament today.
And Keir Starmer himself in 2022.

Add the coming Brexit betrayal.
According the fake news he has also just setup a 100 person strong negotiating unit with the EU aka the German empire. The intent is to reverse Brexit. The gap toothed Nigerian ‘leading’ the Convict party critcised this move to take the UK ‘back to the EU safe space’. What a leader. What a leader. Truly Churchillian.
When the Labour Communists said they would overturn Brexit, they apparently meant what they promised.
Of course, they’re too disingenuous simply to go to the EU and ask to be readmitted. I think their plan is to chip away at our economy, our farming, our fishing fleet, our electricity supplies, and gradually bring the country to its knees, so that when they present the idea of rejoining the EU it will look like the only way out of the misery.
I agree with you.
What they can’t control is the state of the EU which is spiralling downhill in tune with the dying economy of Germany and the indebted French economy. The EU is slowly strangling all the member nations and making them poorer so I can’t see anything that will persuade people to vote rejoin and the herd of elephants and woolly mammoths in the room will be the euro that all new members must sign up to.
Yup. Farage needs to make it absolutely clear to Brussels that when he enters No.10 it will be overturned and LEAVE will be implemented properly.
And they wonder why they’re so unpopular.
But the marxo-fascist anti-whitists believe that only “the morally and spiritually inferior kind people” don’t support them. And as far as these odious anti-whitists are concerned, we don’t count.
What? Over 80% of the electorate?
Probably. Being delusional is Starlin to a t!
Trump can ruin the EU Countries one at a time starting with Ireland and hopefully finish the EU off for good and we go back to nation states with borders.
A week is a long time in politics, let alone 33 days in American politics, especially as drones are buzzing over Mar-a-Lago.
Ah, that permanently baffled, offended look on his face…
Also, is it just me but since he started wearing those plastic frame retro glasses he looks cross-eyed.
Now can you imagine if he was a conservative PM. How the BBC would go on and on about him being unpopular.
Not seen an article on DS regarding this yet but was talked about on GBN last night (they still talk about some important things, just don’t mention the jabs, question climate in any meaningful way and never criticise Charles, only the ginger buffoon and his dumb woke bitch of a wife)……..This is the issue that they are removing Councillors and replacing them with, what seems to be hand-picked Mayors. Just when Reform were poised to give Labour a kicking in the local elections. Speaking of a tin pot dictator. Hitchens & Starkey both warned of these far left radicals who preside on those green benches.

I didn’t know you could get a prison facility that’s exclusively for *foreign* male prisoners. WTH? 😮 Well I’m a bit disappointed this all-inclusive retreat doesn’t come with a jacuzzi and sauna….Note the ”horticulture” and ”bricklaying” training, and what we know about where British farming is headed plus the state of the so-called ‘housing crisis’. I’ll bet there’s going to be a heavy reliance on migrants for these two sectors in the future. But the obvious question remains: why not just flaming deport them? It’d be a hell of a lot more economical; ”Opportunities available at Maidstone prison, a facility exclusively for male foreign criminals… – Yoga/meditation classes – Bricklaying/decorating workshops – Horticulture opportunities – Tailoring/contract workshops – Weights and fitness suite – Artificial turf sports pitch We need to be brutally honest here. I do NOT care about the rehabilitation of foreign criminals. It is NOT our problem. Why are we funding all this? It really is simple – deport them. Deport every single one. Should we providing these facilities and workshops for foreign criminals? I think not. I bet these blokes can’t believe their luck… Deport, deport, deport. The vast majority of Brits agree with me.” https://x.com/RupertLowe10/status/1869015331823337920 He’s… Read more »
Why oh why are they so reluctant to deport people who have blatantly demonstrated they are unfit to become British citizens because they can’t even do something as basic as adhere to the law of the land? It should be a case of ”one strike and you’re out”, as far as I’m concerned
Hear, hear
I’m not surprised that Starmer is so unpopular. His hypocrisy, dissembling, deceitfulness, and staggering incompetence, do not do him any favours. And not to forget his complete lack of charisma, coupled with a certain other worldliness about him, and his complete contempt for the British people, make it easy for him to be loathed.
His voice is annoying. Not quite at the Ed Miliband/Frank Sidebottom level, but still well irritating.😬
But basically, “If he looks like a queer and he sounds like a queer, he’s probably a queer.”🤭
Yes, Miliband’s voice is intensely annoying.
But Millibrain is either totally mad or very, very bad. I suggest the second, the first is an act.
Tom and Emily were talking about his World Tour and replayed the moment the leftie whore Maitlis asked him ‘Westminster or Davos?’ Quick as a flash he answered Davos as Westminster was too restricting for this globalist tosser, and currently far too much like hard work.
I remember that.
Five Live were talking about the two tier justice regarding Farage with his milkshake, where the lady got a suspended sentence. Not one time did they mention that Tommy Robinson was the first milkshake victim. And what did the Police do when someone threw a milkshake at him…..Give him a free ride to the train station!
Ha ha. Labour voters are traitors to our people
WASPIS are taking the mickey out of welfare. But thatbis what happens when you let women vote.
Because if women had not been allowed to vote you wouldn’t have ended up with Starmer, another man, at the helm. Fact. Ergo it’s all women’s fault.😆🤡
( Incel or your classic resentful, henpecked cuck. Always one camp or the other.😏 )
To the women involved that is a cruel cut….u can now add another million or so votes lost forever…..
More than likely ALL votes are lost forever. Elections next May will be cancelled and I have frequently declared here on DS that the General Election of 2024 would be the last.
27% are satisfied with the moron!
I didn’t realise there were so many train drivers.
How come the women are wearing masks and Free Suits isn’t? Oh what a tangled web we weave……
