Sir Keir Starmer‘s popularity has dropped to a new low ahead of his Labour conference speech, new polling shows. The survey by More in Common found his net approval rating has reached minus 48.
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch is on minus 21, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is on minus nine and Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has a score of minus four. The poll of more than 2,000 people was carried out from September 19-22.
It comes ahead of the Prime Minister’s keynote speech to Labour’s gathering in Liverpool this afternoon.
Sir Keir is expected to use the address to ramp up his attacks on Reform UK.
The insurgent party, which is consistently leading national opinion polls, is now regarded by Labour as the primary threat to its re-election prospects
Sir Keir will warn that Britain faces a “defining choice” between “decency” and “division”.
He will say: “We can all see our country faces a choice, a defining choice. Britain stands at a fork in the road.
“We can choose decency. Or we can choose division. Renewal or decline.
“A country, proud of its values, in control of its future, or one that succumbs, against the grain of our history, to the politics of grievance.”
Sir Keir also branded Reform UK’s immigration policy to scrap indefinite leave to remain as “racist” over the weekend.
