Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party have sunk to a damning new low in national polls – just four months after coming to power.
Latest YouGov data sees Labour soar to a 57 per cent disapproval rating and a meagre 18 per cent approval rating – the biggest gap between the two since the last days of the Tory Government.
The General Election had seen Britons’ disapproval of the Government sink – the biggest drop since February 2011, the start of YouGov’s polling.
But the months since, punctuated by riots, Winter Fuel Payment Cuts, accusations of “two-tier” policing and justice, an ongoing donations row and much more, have seen Labour squander their lead.
Alongside the domestic rows, Starmer has also let the Chagos Islands go – risking the British archipelago slipping into China’s grasp.
The islands will be handed over to Mauritius alongside a “financial support” package in order to “address wrongs of the past”, David Lammy’s Foreign Office said.
Boris Johnson branded the move “total nonsense”, speaking to GB News, and claimed the Labour Government are “trying to look like the good guys”.
