Sir Keir Starmer's approval ratings are among the worst for a sitting PM in recent memory (Image: Getty)
A string of policy reversals hasn't been enough to boost Sir Keir Starmer's approval ratings beyond those of his recent predecessors, a bombshell poll has revealed. The Prime Minister has had a tumultuous first year in office, and recent U-turns on unpopular cuts to winter fuel payments and the apparent refusal to hold a national grooming gangs inquiry suggest Labour is aware of its dwindling public support.
Almost immediately after the the Labour Party's landslide success in last year's general election, Sir Keir's popularity began to slide - with a slew of poorly-received cost-cutting announcements in the October budget causing the biggest plummet in his personal ratings. Nearly a year on from the election victory, and Sir Keir has been ranked below eight former Prime Ministers - excluding Liz Truss - for favourability after 300 days in office by Britain Elects, with Boris Johnson, Gordon Brown and Rishi Sunak all scoring higher for public support.

According to the polling aggregator, the Prime Minister's approval rating 300 days after the general election was -33, putting him bottom of the list compared to his eight predecessors.
While he fell far below the popularity ratings of the longest-serving Labour Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, who had a net favourability of 46 after 300 days in Downing Street, he only fell short of Gordon Brown, at -33, by a few points, with previous Tory leader Rishi Sunak also trailing at -22.

Sir John Major, Boris Johnson and Theresa May were the only other recent leaders to rank above 0 nearly a year into office, scoring ratings of 21, 19 and 18 respectively.
Tory PMs Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron both had a net favourability of -6 after nearly a year in power.
Starmer's government has been criticised for a number of policy changes geared towards plugging a "￡22 billion black hole" in public finances since last July, including through welfare reforms and changes to inheritance tax.
