Sir Keir Starmer has opened up a record 13-point lead over Rishi Sunak in terms of who Britons think is the “most capable Prime Minister”, according to a new poll.
The exclusive Ipsos survey for the Standard gives Labour a commanding 22-point edge over the Conservatives. Nearly half - 49 per cent - said they would back Sir Keir’s party if an election were held tomorrow, compared to 27 per cent for the Tories.
