The PM has to do two things to save his job. So who’s stopping him?

Keir Starmer’s approval ratings have collapsed. He has the lowest rating of any Western leader. Seven in 10 Britons now hold an unfavourable opinion of the PM, including 50% of 2024 Labour voters.
It’s easy to see why. Starmer is muddled, unclear on what he stands for, and incapable of connecting with voters. The PM doesn’t do human. Sometimes, I think he was birthed by an early version of AI.
Yet the polls also show he has a clear path back to popularity. Today, voters’ top two concerns are immigration and the economy. The NHS trails a distant third.
Put simply, to survive, Starmer must (a) stop the small boats and (b) revive growth. The problem is he can’t do either, because he’s being blocked at every turn.
