Keir Starmer was dealt a fresh blow last night as his Government's popularity sunk to its lowest level to date.
The Government's approval rating slipped to minus 55, according to pollsters YouGov.
Just 13 per cent of the public included in the survey said they approved of the Government's record since returning to power under Sir Keir last summer - the same percentage as the previous week.
But those who disapproved slipped by another percentage point, down to 68 per cent.
It meant the net approval rating lurched to a record low for this administration.
The weekly poll makes grim reading for Labour HQ, and follows a series of blows to Sir Keir's authority, including fresh accusations he has failed to get a hold of the small boats crisis, and claims he has presided over a 'two-tier' justice system.
He also had to deal with the resignation of his homelessness minister over a rental home row.
The YouGov data came after it was officially confirmed more than 50,000 migrants have arrived in the UK after crossing the English Channel since Labour won the 2024 general election.
Analysis claimed the milestone was reached in 401 days of the Starmer government, compared with 603 days for Rishi Sunak's administration, and more than 1,000 days under Boris Johnson's.
Liz Truss did not last long enough to reach the landmark, although a total of 10,532 migrants arrived in the UK after crossing the Channel during the 49 days of her premiership.
Figures this week showed Labour freed more than 26,000 criminals as part of its early release scheme.
This included hundreds of serious offenders who were handed sentences of more than a decade behind bars.
The figures suggested 45,000 criminals could have their sentences cut in the programme's first year...

The U.K. is going to get its own Mamdani.
Don’t blame Starman blame the stupid people that voted for Labour , they knew but still voted for these idiots
And the nine Councils that had their elections postponed?
Are they to blame, too?
Hint: The UK wouldn’t willingly vote for this any more than we would.
Leftists are destructive by nature. I see it just on my local level. They act like they’re so nice while they make sure no one has any consequences for their actions.
Every deadbeat and wrongdoer must have an excuse and they will not even consider holding them to account.
Bunch of dangerous kooks.
Time for Prime Minister Farange.
Wow, worse the the Democrat approval here. That’s no easy feat.
I’ve been predicting eventually Sadiq Khan will be PM.
It would reverse some of the damage, but Reform UK wants to Nationalize the Coal Industry and strengthen the NHS. Britian’s fate was sealed when Laubor won in 1945. Thatcher was a last gasp.
If only Enoch had been listened too.
Britian’s fate was sealed when Laubor won in 1945.
And when the Tories ditched Enoch Powell for Ted Heath.

Yep, England was drowning so they embraced an anchor and handed power to Labour.
We’re only making plans for Nigel!
They had better get moving and legalize the new arrivals and get them voting.
Good grief. You Labour TOLD you what they were going to do and yet you voted for them and now you’re pissed because they’re doing what they said they would do! Great Britain is beyond hope, as is most of Western Europe. Truly sad.
Nigel Farange deserves to be PM as much as Churchill did, and the UK need him as much as they needed Churchill.
It’s Nigel Farage, Not Farange.
They didn’t . The Reform Conservative coalition fractured .
Conservatives blew it so bad, Reformers could no longer hold their nose and vote for them.
My mistake. Thank you for the correction.
