Keir Starmer faces major revolt as more than one in three Labour voters want him to resign

Sir Keir was also ranked as the worst Labour Prime Minister in history, according to the poll from JL Partners.

When asked who should replace the current Prime Minister, the favourite choice among Labour 2024 voters was Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, who polled at 19 per cent.

In second place is former Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner on 10 per cent, with her successor as Deputy Labour Leader Lucy Powell on nine per cent.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband both tie on six per cent.

At the bottom of the list was Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood on four per cent, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson on three per cent and Sir Keir's Chief Secretary Darren Jones on two per cent.

Labour voters in the North West are most convinced the party would benefit by ditching Sir Keir, with 14 per cent saying Labour would do "much better" if it replaced him, according to The Independent.

A survey taken earlier this month by Opinium found Sir Keir's net approval rating stood at -43 per cent, the lowest of all the major party leaders.

While no leader achieved a net positive score, the most popular leader was Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who had a score of -1 per cent, just ahead of Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey, who stood at -4 per cent.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch polled at -10 per cent, while Reform UK's Nigel Farage on -12 per cent.

Head of Policy and Public Affairs at Opinium James Crouch said: "Zack Polanski looks set to become a painful thorn in Keir Starmer's side in 2026 unless the PM can set a clearer direction of travel for his Government.

"Until then, Labour voters will continue to be drawn to a Green Party they feel offers a stronger sense of purpose and conviction than their own. Starmer's only breathing space is that few expect the Greens to be ready to take the reins of power any time soon."

According to a YouGov poll, there was also a harsh assessment of the Government's handling of the economy, with 71 per cent saying they thought the economy had got worse over the last 12 months.

Only seven per cent said things had improved.

Just 15 per cent think their money situation will improve over the next year, 40 per cent believe it will get worse, while 39 per cent are expecting it to stay about the same.

This is slightly improved from a month ago, when 56 per cent said they expected their financial situation to get worse and 75 per cent said Labour was managing the economy badly.

Reacting to recent data, a top pollster has warned of a potential "Labour meltdown" at the next General Election as Reform continues to hold a steady lead.

Head of Research at FindOutNow Tyrone Sermon told GB News: "I think my main takeaway is that, maybe because there are so many polls or because we’re used to bad news, we’ve almost become accustomed to seeing the governing party, who won an enormous majority last year, in fourth place.

"But no, this is deeply, deeply unusual, and I just don’t think it’s quite sunk in yet...Labour is losing voters partly to Reform UK, mainly to the left to the Greens, and some are choosing not to vote at all.

"Their hope is that the economy improves and public services get better to win voters back, but even then, it would be a very long road to deny Reform UK a majority, let alone win one themselves."
