I’m sure the recent appointing of an advisor who runs a company that lobbies for Thames water should help win support back…

It’s astonishing that, despite the government being so unpopular, the Tories are still incapable of capitalising on that. This should be bonanza time for Tories but they just seem useless.

Down to 20% with no positive news in sight and Corbyn hasn’t even officially launched his party yet. This is historically bad for a new government and I’m not at all surprised the party is starting to panic.

Because they continue to allow Reform to set the narrative not realising that you will never beat Reform that way.
Reform are selling magic beans and Starmer is trying to sell baked beans in response.

In the modern world voting is now based on X factornomics. People vote on charisma and image.
If someone’s image is bad (post Covid Boris/Truss), people will vote for the opposite (which is how Labour got in).
If someone has no charisma and image (Starmer) then people won’t vote for them to stay in.
Starmer’s one hope to cling to power is to deliver growth. To do this, he needs to get Labour to make those tough decisions he talks about but has failed at every stage. Labour are hard wired to try and appease everyone and so will end up appeasing nobody.
Farage knows this.
The Tory Party know that Badenoch hasn’t got what it takes and is a caretaker.
Labour still have their head in the sand about this.

At this stage Starmer could personally invent cold fusion and the right would just attack him for taking jobs from the fossil fuel industry.

I’m sure the Online Safety Bill hasn’t helped.
I know it’s a non-partisan issue, but Labour’s comments about supporting criminals if you don’t like the act, etc. have turned a lot of people off.

Sucking up to The Sun and hiring Tory advisers not working? What a surprise

It baffles me how badly Starmer has ballsed up his first year this badly. It should have been nothing but easy wins.

Labour’s biggest problem is not how low their popularity is, but the way they’ve burned it. Previous governments that sunk to deep unpopularity had the ability to claw their way out with economic and legislative success.
But that’s way more difficult here. Labour has a massive trust issue that means they’ll struggle to get credit for the things they do right in the future.
