Starmer's poll ratings slump

“At local level, it’s different."
SIR KEIR STARMER’S popularity, never high, is hitting new lows according to the latest opinion polling.
A survey carried out by More in Common found that the Prime Minister’s personal approval rating is now minus 16, a drop of 27 per cent since the general election.
And two-thirds of voters believe that Sir Keir’s government is more interested in serving itself than the wider public, likely a result of the cronyism scandals that have beset his administration.
