Labour Drops to New Poll Low

Support for Labour has dropped to a new low of just 21% while the Conservatives lead on 26%, ahead of Reform on 25%. The cost of living was the top concern while climate change barely made the top 10. The Spectator has more.

New data released to day reveals that support for the reds has dropped to the lowest level yet in a More in Common survey, with Westminster voting intention for Starmer’s army at just 21% – leaving the party of government in third place behind both Reform and the Conservatives. Oh dear…

The polling, carried out between March 28th-31st, shows Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue soaring to first place, with 26%, while a quarter of participants have thrown their weight behind Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Further research between March 22nd-24th by More in Common shows that almost two-thirds of Brits rank the cost of living crisis as the most important issue facing the UK. A quarter and a fifth respectively say dealing with immigration levels and small boats are top priorities – with the latter increasingly concerning Britons. Concerns about climate change, however, barely make the top ten. How interesting…

Meanwhile, YouGov reports that the Government’s approval rating has dropped to a joint record low of minus-53 – a result of just 14% approving of Labour’s performance (down five points in a week) and 68% disapproving.

Time to sack Ed Miliband?

Buyer’s remorse. They voted, as one notable journalist has put it, in an ’emotional spasm’.

But they will carry on voting in much the same percentage for the Labour Losers just as they will for the Terrible Tories. The latter under Kemi Badenuff cannot really be said to be ‘soaring’ to new heights of popularity with a score of 26%.

If only Reform UK were led by their membership they might perform a lot better than to just match the two legacy parties. In any case, Starmer has said that he doesn’t mind being unpopular. So Labour’s score is a success on that measure.

An organisation “led by its membership” is not led at all. It is a free for all, a rabble.

Conceivably Kneel measures his “success” by how low his popularity falls.

As long as he is popular with the WEF/Trilateral crowd!

The drop in Labour popularity will only serve to encourage Kommissar Sir Two-Tier to double-down on knowing what is best for mere erks whose cheap specs aren’t paid for by a bung from Lord Alli – laws, laws, more laws, and even more asylum hotel bookings at erks’ expense.

Someone please send for the quill pen, black cap, length of sturdy rope and directions to the nearest street lamp.

For a fist full of roubles

Just imagine if Reform were not still suffering from the Rupert Lowe backlash

Own goals aren’t usually brought about by two strikers from the same side clashing heads, but nowt so strange as a game of politics.

Was there a backlash.? I know people who were disappointed, self included, but backlash..? If Reform have good council election and take Runcorn, then it will be Rupert Who.?

It’s hard to imagine for some, but most people don’t follow the frenetic activity on X and the hyperventilating of the Commentariat in the media.

In a survey at the time, only a small minority of the public knew who Rupert Lowe was.

Just about everybody knows Nigel Farage.

Do they also know his weaknesses as a long term player and possible leader……..in my experience, there are serious reservations about Farage everywhere, and Reform at local level is chaotic. Where are Musk and Trump when Farage needs them…….

He’s gone floppy on Islam and deportations.

Why would I vote for that?

You have received this information from… let me guess, social media and the Commentariat? Personal prejudice maybe?

Or have you travelled the length and breadth of the Country carrying out intensive and extensive enquiries?

Including a friend of mine, but I judge a man with what he is prepared to say even when it makes him unpopular, Rupert wins hands down.

At a personal level, I think that has great merit. When you are the leader of a political party that is trying to win the votes of a broad base, then some things can be left unsaid. Labour won by being ‘not Tories’. Reform can do likewise by being ‘not Labour’

This won’t help, but it’s not as if migrants that commit crimes are getting deported now anyway;

”The Sentencing Council is changing guidance to keep more illegal immigrants in the UK.

@RobertJenrick
explains they are cutting sentences for immigration offences under 12 months, which is the threshold for automatic deportation in the UK Borders Act 2007.”

Conservatives “soaring” into first place by, er, 1%.

It’s the way he tells ‘em.

“Time to sack Ed Miliband?”

Don’t forget that all three main parties are in on the climate game to various degrees. So it would be a bit rich sacking someone that you agree with and that you share the climate cult with?

it is noticeable that 41% of the population is either sticking with Labour despite all evidence to the contrary, or have fallen for the charms of the Liberals and Greens who are both barking mad and completely ineffective. 41%..!

21% eh. Basically the Public and “Charity” Sectors.

Not sure that was the most sensible electoral strategy for Two-Tier and Theeves.
