Honeymoon Over: UK Prime Minister Starmer’s Net Approval Collapses by 16 Points
Breitbart ^ | 08/04/2024 | Kurt Zindulka

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.

Failing the first test makes it difficult to come back. They have very real problems which are likely to end up in violence (even “rivers of blood” if not addressed yesterday). Leftist happy talk about diversity will only go so far. I thought that it would erupt in Ireland well before in Britain. Neither feckless government has any answers.

Everybody loves living off someone else until that someone else is yourself. Lefties like to play in quicksand without knowing the consequences.

Lefties are the drowning person, climbing on the rescuer come to save them. They think only as far ahead as their panicked brains will allow.

The Right should know this.

Stupid Brits get what they voted for. Yes, the Tories were complete sell-out globalists, but the voters should have punished them by voting for Nigel Farage’s party. Idiot voters. If they thought the influx of Muzzies was bad before, it’ll be on steroids now. Idiot voters.

The UK is a FAILED state no matter who is in charge.

Germany and France are FAILED as well.

None will recover.

Sheeple love their nanny state and the sheeple are too soft to close their borders from all those invaders who want some of that “free lunch” the nanny state offers.

Patriots look across the pond.

That is Our Republic’s future If Trump doesn’t take back the WH in November.

He had his chance right after the murder of the little girls in the dancing school. Instead of talking about tamping down that violence he pivoted to more Islamophobia crappola and announced a complete surveillance state right out of “V”. He is as divisive as Castro’s little bastid and the CCP’s PedoPres.

I don't think it's that the UK and Irish governments don't have an answer so much as these governments are the instigators of this dire situation. I guess the answer they don't have is, how do we make the native populations second class citizens while pretending not to. Has it ever happened before that governments across so many western countries hate their own citizens? This is like Longshanks hating the Scots, but then he viewed them as subjects not citizens. "Democracy" is going to have to be redefined as government that hates its people. Or maybe a new word - Demosmiseo.

As always, Leftists cannot govern.

Fantasy always collides with the real world brick wall.

That’s the thing about liberals.

They can run their mouths and steal money, but they can’t really govern for the good of the people.

Sweeping to power? The commie got a whooping 1/3 of the vote which netted Labour nearly 2/3’s of Parliament and a 6 year hammer lock on power, effective control of the executive and legislative branches of government not to mention near total control over the judiciary for the next 6 years. And these people think our democracy is crazy screwed up!

Stop illegal immigration and deport all the Muslims who entered the country illegally.

The solutions to the problems are easy, finding someone with the balls to do it may be impossible until there is widespread bloodshed and even then, it probably won’t happen.

I’m hearing he’ll be gone in a couple of months. The parliamentary system works differently than ours.

OK...I suppose that that could happen. But the only way it could is for his own members to vote him out. The Labour Party has a huge majority so they will be in power for 5 years...without a doubt.

But it's hard for me to imagine them voting him out this early.In a couple of years...maybe.But not now. Who will they have replace him? That semi literate (but rather cute) Deputy Leader?
