If the pessimist says, “Things can’t get any worse” and the optimist replies, “Oh yes they can”, where does that leave the Prime Minister? Rishi Sunak called this snap election to get a hearing from the British people, but the longer it goes on, the less they appear to be listening.
A record seven in 10 Britons do not like the Conservative Party, according to an exclusive Ipsos poll for the Standard. The survey also shows that four in 10 now believe that Sir Keir Starmer is ready to be prime minister, up from 33 per cent in May. Remarkably, more people are dissatisfied with the Government than even in 1979 after the Winter of Discontent, when rubbish was piling up in the streets and dead bodies were left unburied.
