Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Yet no prime minister in recent times has seen such a calamitous fall in public support in such a short space of time.
43% : Tom Baldwin, the prime minister's biographer, said that "in every big job he has done, he has had quite a rocky start," referring to awkward beginnings in his role as Labour leader and as director of public prosecutions.
41% : Starmer's team say they will not make the mistake of deploying the "Pied Piper strategy" adopted by US Democrats ahead of the 2016 presidential election, when they actively talked up Trump in the hope it might destabilise the Republicans and take them down a populist rabbit hole.
