Exclusive: Labour Failing On Key Issues Facing The Country, Say Voters

Keir Starmer speaks with trainee pilots during a visit to RAF Valley, Anglesey, on Friday June 27.Voters believe Labour are failing on the key issues facing the country, according to a new poll.The nationwide survey by Ipsos showed the public believe the NHS, inflation and immigration will be the areas most important to them when deciding who to vote for at the next general election.But in a blow for Keir Starmer, a clear majority believe the Labour government is performing badly on all of them.The poll showed 62% of voters believe they are doing a bad job on the cost of living, 59% are unsatisfied withe Labour’s performance on immigration and 54% are unsatisfied with the government’s management of the economy.As Starmer approaches his first anniversary as prime minister, a majority – 56% – of the British public are disappointed by what Labour has done in power so far.Meanwhile, 52% of the public have an unfavourable view of the PM himself, with just 24% having a favourable one, giving him a net rating of minus 28.Voters’ opinion of chancellor Rachel Reeves is even worse, with 53% having an unfavourable view of her, and just 17% having a favourable one, giving her a net rating of minus 36.Keiran Pedley, director of UK politics at Ipsos, told HuffPost UK: “Neither Labour nor Keir Starmer’s poll ratings are in a good place and that’s been the case for some time.“More than half have an unfavourable view of both the prime minister and the chancellor, and a similar proportion are disappointed by Labour in government so far.“On all the issues voters say are most important to them – the NHS, the economy and immigration – a majority of Britons say Labour are doing a bad job.” However, in a glimmer of hope for Starmer, Pedley said Labour remain more trusted on the NHS than any other party and “there is no clear consensus for which party is best on the economy or cost of living”.“Given this – and there is still potentially four years to go this parliament – Labour still does have time on its side to turn things around,” he added.Related...Labour MPs Are Already Asking How Long Starmer Can Last – But The Worst Could Be Yet To ComeKeir Starmer Says He 'Deeply Regrets' Saying Britain Risks Becoming An 'Island Of Strangers'Keir Starmer's Authority In Tatters After Humiliating U-Turn On Welfare Cuts
