Time for a Change: Starmer’s Leadership Under Scrutiny
As the Labour Party grapples with its ambitions amid the paradoxically titled theme ‘Renew Britain,’ Prime Minister Keir Starmer finds himself navigating an increasingly turbulent political landscape. After all, a call for renewal might imply a change in leadership. How can a government that holds power genuinely call for revival without facing the music?
Yet, the spotlight has shifted away from Starmer’s controversial push for a Digital ID, with more pressing matters capturing public attention.
According to an Ipsos poll released just yesterday, Starmer has become the most unpopular Prime Minister in the entire history of the United Kingdom, while Chancellor Rachel Reeves mirrors this dismal trend as the least favored chancellor ever.
