Keir Starmer receives damning 'last Christmas' verdict from British voters as PM warned about No10 ousting

The figure compared to just 35 per cent of voters who believe Sir Keir will remain in No10 next December.

However, the same survey suggested Labour has cut Reform UK's lead in the opinion polls.

Reform UK's support was down from 28 per cent to 25 per cent, putting Nigel Farage just five points clear of Sir Keir's Labour Party.

Meanwhile, the Tory Party remains in third place on just 19 per cent, leaving the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party tied on 15 per cent.

Despite securing a landslide victory at the 2024 General Election, Sir Keir's authority also appears to have slipped with Labour MPs.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner have been mooted as potential plotters against Sir Keir.

Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham yet again confirmed he would return to Westminster if called upon by Labour MPs.

During the last round of Prime Minister's Questions before the festive recess, the Scottish National Party's Westminster leader Stephen Flynn could not resist a swipe at Sir Keir about his future.

He said: "It's the season of goodwill, so with that in mind, I don't intend on asking the Prime Minister about his broken promises on energy bills, the 1,000 jobs being lost in the North Sea, and the fact that Peter Mandelson is still a member of the House of Lords.

"I won't even ask him about the chaos engulfing the Labour Party, his Budget and his indeed his own leadership.

"No, Mr Speaker, I simply want to wish the Prime Minister happy Christmas.

"How does he intend on spending his final one in Downing Street?"

Sir Keir responded by revealing he will receive an update from the Chancellor on the situation at Grangemouth.

The Prime Minister added: "The Right Honourable Gentleman is clearly not interested in Grangemouth.

"I would have thought, on a day like this, that he would want to welcome the £120million investment into Grangemouth.

"It is a landmark investment protecting 500 jobs there and hundreds more across Scotland’s supply chain, and he cannot even bring himself to mention it.

"That is on top of the Typhoon defence jobs in Edinburgh and the shipbuilding jobs on the Clyde.

"After decades of SNP rule, its Members are totally out of ideas and they cannot even welcome the Grangemouth news. Scotland deserves change next year with Anas Sarwar."

Meanwhile, Labour Party Chairwoman Anna Turley insisted Sir Keir will remain as Prime Minister next Christmas.

"As we go into the new year, I'm really optimistic about delivering the kind of change that people voted for last year, and to see them starting to see and feel it in their pockets and in their local communities," Ms Turley told Sky News.

She added: "Well, I think rightly, people are impatient for change. We all are. And people voted for change - that was on the front of our manifesto last year.

"But it takes time to deliver that. It takes time to stabilise things from the chaos that we inherited."
