'It's Now Time To Regroup!' Ex-Tory MP Sees Opportunity In Starmer's Fall From Grace

Sir Keir Starmer ended his first week as Prime Minister as popular as Boris Johnson was at the height of the vaccine rollout, a poll has found.

Some 36% of the public told pollster Ipsos they thought Sir Keir was doing a good job as Prime Minister, the highest rating for a premier since February 2021 when 37% said the same about Mr Johnson.

But conversely, just 14% of the public think the new Prime Minister is doing a bad job, well below the 41% that thought negatively of Mr Johnson in February 2021 – and the 57% that thought badly of Rishi Sunak just before he called the election.

Keiran Pedley, director of politics at Ipsos, said: “Looking at Keir Starmer’s poll ratings there are increasing signs of the new Prime Minister enjoying something of a honeymoon period during his first few days in office.”

Former Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood looks at how Labour have fared on the UK riots; Israel, continuing cuts and Ukraine, and thinks there's an opportunity for the conservative party to regroup and take back ground in the polls.

Elwood your part of the reason the tories got stuffed you haven’t got a clue

[gordonbrown]

If we need the brightest and the best to run the country, why is Lammy Foreign Secretary? The Tories are failing as badly in opposition. VOTE REFORM.

[andyquelch]

Elwood exemplifies why the Tories failed. They never learn.

[OhYeah]

Sign the petition against Starmer Stalin. Let’s get our Country back .

[samhodgins]

We nedd a new election and vote Reform UK

[steve]

No matter what party, they all feed from the same trough!

[bridiesmith]

Sorry Tobias, none of you have any chance. I will not vote Tory again.

[samhodgins]

Being an MP is not an easy job.... Neither are most jobs but its doesnt mean we are claiming from our employer for our heating bills

[TerryTerryTerry]

The ‘brightest and best’ in Parliament - must be joking - worst people in the country.

[jonathanlake]

Lammy shares the same flip flops as his useless leader.

[cardinal-fang]

Ratings: Lammy 0%, Cooper 0%, Phillips 0%, Streeting 0%.

[ianbird]

i didnt vote for them and a lot of what they have done was not in the manifesto

[paranoidmarty]

Now we understand what net Zero Stands for. STARMER 😂☘️🇬🇧👍

[kenbeaumont]

Why would they need so much money ?.
They hardly use their dwellings....Straight from home to a nice warm office....Then to a nice warm place for a paid for meal.

NICE LIFE IF YOU CAN GET IT.

Parties opposing Starmer (Reform party) should announce " If they come in power, all immigrants who get British citizenship after 31 Mar 24 will again be scrutinized ". This appeasement and building of voter Bank by Stramer, should be demolished.

[hugodrax]

As a Wales resident who has had to endure 26 years of Labour rule, this is absolutely no shock at all.

[flemwad]

Always voted tory. Voted Reform last time. Tories let the public badly down.

[stuartgrace]

Would like details of starmers wealth before he was elected and then compare his wealth when he’s finished. Interesting.

[davidseals]

Elwood, the first in lobby voting for second referendum
Disgusting bstrd
The Tories and labour done

[dakjones]

Last year Labour were calling for a Windfall Tax on the Energy Companies but are silent on this since coming into power.
