British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has seen his approval ratings plunge by 16 points in the past two weeks amid criticism of his handling of widespread anti-mass migration uprisings and the decision by his government to implement major cuts to winter fuel benefits.
Just one month after sweeping to power in last month’s general election, it appears that the honeymoon is over for Sir Keir Starmer.
According to the latest survey from Opinium, the left-wing leader has seen his net approval rating fall to just 3 per cent, down from 19 per cent two weeks ago, representing a decline of 16 points in a fortnight.

The dumbed-down, immigrant-heavy British electorate willingly voted for this communist - - and he still has +3 approval.
The British government - - and all of the Euro governments - - can't undo the massive blunder of allowing millions of uncivilized creatures into their countries. Europe is doomed. It's bad enough now - - but in thirty years it will be completely unrecognizable.

GB and EU are allies in self ruin. The US should not be involved with this pair in anything.

FTA While his Labour Party had one of its largest electoral victories last month....the party did so on the back of just 33.7 per cent of the vote.
Good point. The 'Right' vote was badly splintered, letting Labour win dozens of seats in conservative districts. But they are stuck with a left-wing government for up to 5 years.

More useless tools of the Clown World. Nice to see the indigenous natives have had a gut full of these smug pols and I'm not sure they've seen extreme yet. "Can you hear me now?"

Hold it. This clown only had a 19 percent approval rating, and he was still able to become Prime Minister?

The country is having buyers remorse, but then the so called Conservative Party was nearly as feckless and left wing as Labour. The UK got the government it deserves and will pay the price over the next six years. Labour won a huge majority in Parliament with 1/3 of the popular vote. Then again the countries with proportional representation as opposed to first across the wire seem frequently to end up with parliamentry deadlocks that cannot produce governing majorities. See the Netherlands, France, and Germany.

Glad I saw the UK a few years ago. It will be unlivable in a few years.

What voters need to do is start asking politicians what are you going to do if elected that you aren't telling us. He never mentioned the raise in taxes, the cutting of subsidies for winter fuel for the elderly and my favorite which isn't mentioned in this story is Starmer saying he's going to release all inmates from prison if they have served 40% of their sentence. That's going to be a real barn burner and if they think they have problems now, wait until hundreds of thousands of rapist, murderers and thieves are running around the country. A country where the ordinary citizens, excuse me, the subjects are forbidden to defend themselves.

Poster #5 - - - - the writer meant to say that the commie's positives once exceeded his negatives by 19 points - - but now they exceed them by only three points. He's now +3 in positivity.
Today's "journalists" aren't just fake and phony - - they also can't write a comprehensible sentence.

How quickly politicians find out that it is much easier to run for office and say what you will do based on your political beliefs than to actually govern and make realistic decisions. Reality has set in and he has to make real decisions, not political campaign promises (which are often empty rhetoric).

When you have a large percentage of communists, muslims, assorted radicals and general malcontents in your country, nobody can be happy, as the United States is quickly learning along with most of Europe. That's the reason countries have borders.

World's oldest and most mature Democracy. How can the voters be that short sighted and utterly foolish?

There was never any honeymoon. People voted against "conservatives", who are socialists in GB, and are corrupt and worthless. That didn't fix anything, as Labor is communist. GB is finished, with declining standards of living, already 75% of the US, and overran with illegals.

I have to preface this by stating my tin foil hat is firmly in place. I find it very interesting that so many countries are having elections wherein a majority of the people’s choice is not the person who gets elected. Do we have world wide election shenanigans going on to thwart the will of the people and install the globalist’s anointed one?
Clearly, the British people are fed up with the invasion of their country. Unfortunately, just like in King George III’s time, the people’s will is immaterial. These elite globalist tyrants have an agenda and it is is no way geared to individual liberty and the right to choose the men and women who would lead them. That particular reality must come from their betters for the greater good, don’t ‘cha know. It looks like free people take a stand now against this tyranny and corruption or we will relinquish our rights to be governed by whom we choose. If not, we will be ruled over by megalomaniacal tyrants driven by their power hungry obsession.
As Ronald Reagan told us, there is a time for choosing, and I honestly believe that time is now.

Sorry for the second post, but let’s not be so hard on the UK, if not for the grace of God we would be in the same position. Clearly, evil is afoot in this world and far too many people wake up only when it is too late. 2024 will be defining moment in our history. We are far too close for comfort to falling into the globalist agenda. We are the last, best, hope for mankind but that can change when we wake up on November 6, 2024. The enemy is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour and right now his sights are on the West, the USA being the big prize. I don’t believe many people are aware of the scope of the evil that is trying to blanket this world.

No wonder the European globalists are upset with Nigel Farage being back in the limelight....he speaks for the English people and is someone the left needs to watch...they tried to take his funds and leave him broke...but that didn't work...so now they got him in the parliament and the English population is starting to fight back....

Historically, England has had several very bloody civil wars in the past. As the saying goes - Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. Keep that in mind going forward. Applies to our formerly United States of America as well.

Excellent observation, #17. But I wonder how the average Brit would wage a non-gun civil war today? By throwing rocks at their opposition because they forgot the history?
