A poll tracker by Britain Elects revealed a lack of trust between Labour and the public when it comes to the economy, with only 20.5% of people saying they trust them on the matter. The Tories were similiarly mistrusted, with just 21.1% of people saying they have faith in them to handle to economy.
Overall, 58.4% of respondents said they did not have faith in either party. Sir Keir Starmer is also facing a popularity crisis after just over 400 days in No. 10. The Labour leader's net favourable ratings were at -37, according to another Britain Elects tracker. He began his time as Prime Minister with just 40% of Brits having a favourable view of him, and just slightly less than that having an unfavourable view of him.
