Sir Keir Starmer is failing to keep up with three out of five of his flagship 2024 commitments, GB News's manifesto tracker has revealed.
The damning verdict comes exactly one year after Starmer won his so-called "loveless landslide" of 411 MPs on just over a third of the national vote.
Labour romped to victory after setting out a five-point plan, somewhat aptly referred to as "five missions for a better Britain".
However, some months later, Starmer climbed on stage to outline six "ambitious milestones", alongside three "foundations" - taking the overall number of commitments made to the British public from just five to 14.
After being asked whether his message was becoming "confusing", the Prime Minister said the five missions were designed to give a "sense of purpose".
Meanwhile, the six milestones were things we "indicated we could do quickly" and can help voters "measure... progress on our missions [and] hold us to account", he added.
Those are then "built" on three foundations: economic stability, economic security and border security.
In November last year, reports emerged that Labour would move to launch a "public dashboard", letting voters monitor its progress on hitting its six "milestones".
While at last year's Labour conference, Starmer pledged to work to "clear, measurable targets and progress displayed publicly... So every single person in this country can judge our performance on actions, not words."
However, the reported "dashboard" now appears to have been shelved, with GB News now understanding that there were no plans to make such a tool public - though the Government remains privately aware of its delivery progress.
And now, GB News is stepping in to track Starmer's progress - exactly 365 days after voters swept him into No10.
'KICKSTART ECONOMIC GROWTH'
Starmer promised to "kickstart" growth as one of his main missions, and in May, a 0.7 per cent growth rate in the first quarter of the year had Rachel Reeves hailing "very encouraging" signs of progress.
Labour also promised to "support good jobs and unlock investment" before it returned to power last July.
However, with the Tories long attacking Labour amid claims Starmer inherited the fastest-growing economy in the G7, Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride warned the Chancellor's celebrations were "a bit premature to be popping the champagne corks".
And this week, following Labour's benefits bill climbdown, AstraZeneca agitating for a move to the US, looming Budget tax hikes, borrowing costs skyrocketing and Reeves's tears in the Commons, critics were quick to take swipes at No11's door.
"What a mess," Shadow Education Minister Neil O'Brien said.
Looking at a monthly scale, GDP has fallen, according to the ONS.
It dropped by 0.3 per cent in April 2025, with the Tories and Liberal Democrats launching a two-pronged attack on the Government.
"Under Labour, we have seen taxes hiked, inflation almost double, unemployment rise, and growth fall. With more taxes coming, things will only get worse and hard-working people will pay the price," Stride fumed.
Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat deputy leader Daisy Cooper said the figures must be "a wake-up call" for Labour, which has so far "refused to listen to the small businesses struggling to cope with the jobs tax".
But the Treasury continues to blame external factors for Britain's stagnant growth rates.
"If you dig into the numbers, it shows that trade and production are weak," the Chancellor told GB News. "I think that reflects the tariffs that came in April."
Writing for the People's Channel, economist Julian Jessop said the quarterly 0.7 per cent figure "was certainly better than most had expected a few months earlier, but unfortunately, it was as good as it gets".
Underlying growth "remains sluggish, at best", he added.
"The economy is set to grow by little more than one per cent over 2025 as a whole, little changed from last year, and well short of the numbers needed to fix the public finances.
"With no sign that Government spending is being brought back under control, Rachel Reeves may have to come back with even more tax increases in the Autumn Budget. In the meantime, business and consumer confidence are still fragile."
Tory MP Neil O'Brien branded Labour's economic management a 'mess' after Rachel Reeves's Commons tears. The next day, however, she smiled and hugged the PM as the pair laid out a 10-year plan for the NHS

'MAKE BRITAIN A CLEAN ENERGY SUPERPOWER'
In May this year, Labour passed legislation to formally establish Great British Energy.
GBE, according to the party, is the principal thrust of its mission to "make Britain a clean energy superpower".
Through a £100million-valued capital funding drive, the publicly-owned firm has been ordered to drive "the production, distribution, storage and supply of clean energy" and "the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from energy produced from fossil fuels".
But GB Energy chief Juergen Maier admitted earlier this year that it might take 20 years for Starmer to meet his pledge to create just 1,000 jobs, later admitting the company has zero employees.
And one leading net zero critic, Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice, has poured further scorn on the party's progress.
He told GB News: "Labour knows its promise to become a 'clean energy superpower' rings hollow. Forcing us to change heating systems, drive electric cars, and import more energy from abroad has only destroyed jobs and done nothing to impact global carbon emissions.
"All their reckless net zero ambitions have achieved so far is raising energy bills for hardworking Britons and further harming small businesses and economic growth.
"Net zero is estimated to cost the UK £3trillion - more than the entire national debt.
"Our country cannot afford this. Only Reform will scrap net zero, unleash North Sea drilling, invest in modular nuclear reactors, and put hardworking Britons first."
His words also follow the news that Labour's green push could be scuppered off the country's east coast.
Ed Miliband has opened the door to drilling in the North Sea thanks to the lifting of a controversial oil ban.
The Energy Secretary is poised to change the law on greenhouse gas emissions and pave the way for the construction of two giant oil field projects, setting the tone for the future of Britain's fossil fuels industry as a whole.
Labour's manifesto also promised to grant no new coal licences - which has been delivered upon.
And Miliband's Department for Energy has hinted that further details on GBE's "strategic priorities" will be outlined "soon".
However, critics warn little action has been taken for any serious change just yet.

Labour's pitch to "take back our streets" was originally sold under a different message: "Crack down on antisocial behaviour".
That was one of six "first steps for change" outlined last May - another set of deliverable steps hailed by the party before it cruised to electoral victory.
Strategists later dialled up that messaging in the Government's "plan for change" handbook released after the election.
"Our town centres are exposed," it warns. "Violent crime is too high... Confidence in policing has declined".
"Shoplifting and antisocial behaviour have wreaked havoc on our neighbourhoods," the PM also said this year as he pledged to employ 13,000 more police officers by 2029.
But in just one year under Labour, Britain has been rocked by violence, unrest and protests.
The ONS, meanwhile, warns that violent crime figures are becoming unreliable due to "changes in recording practices".
"They are better indicators of police activity than crime trends," the office says.
On the ground, Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has warned of "bike theft, phone theft, tool theft, shoplifting, drugs in town centres, weird Turkish barber shops... all chipping away at society".
"The state needs to assert itself and go after lawbreakers," he said just a few weeks ago.
And as Labour crossed the one-year mark, Jenrick was back with a damning 50-word assessment.
"Starmer promised safer streets but he's released thousands of criminals early and is set to scrap short prison sentences altogether which will unleash a crime wave," Jenrick told GB News.
"There has never been a better time to be a criminal... In many instances, the police have been reduced to a crime reporting service."
Starmer is now said to be planing to win back "authoritarian-leaning" voters by dialling up his party's messaging on crime and migration - despite confessing that he regrets his "island of strangers" remarks.
But Dr Lawrence Newport, founder of campaign group Crush Crime, said in response to his plans: "Increasing their messaging? What about... actually doing something?"
Labour had originally pledged to 'crack down on antisocial behaviour' before hardening its message once in GovernmentPA'BREAK DOWN BARRIERS TO OPPORTUNITY'
In its manifesto, Labour promised to employ an extra 6,500 more teachers and "break down barriers to opportunity" across Britain.
But the first figures on Labour's first year in power, released in June, show that teacher numbers had fallen by 400 last year.
Though numbers rose in secondary schools, this was offset by a near-3,000 reduction in primary school teacher headcounts.
"When you have said that teacher numbers will go up, and they are in fact going down, that's a bit of a problem," O'Brien jabbed.
The Shadow Education Minister has accused Labour of excluding primary school teachers from its target in a bid to "move goalposts".
"There was nothing unclear about Labour's manifesto promise," he added. "What is clear is that they are trying to redefine one of their main election promises out of existence, because the numbers are going in the wrong direction."
Elsewhere, Labour has promised to smash "class ceilings" and ensure three quarters of children were "ready to learn" when starting school.
When pushed by GB News, Labour pointed to free school meals and breakfast clubs as crucial in breaking those "ceilings".
And today, the Education Secretary will be moving to force councils to agree targets with Whitehall to improve the number of children ready for school.
Bridget Phillipson is set to decry a "national scandal" - in the face of a poll of primary school teachers in May which found that a huge majority believe that Labour will miss its target of three in four being ready for school in the coming years.
The poll of more than 2,500 primary school teachers in England found that 80 per cent do not think the Government is likely to meet its goal of 75 per cent of children being "school ready" by 2028.
'BUILD AN NHS FIT FOR THE FUTURE'
NHS waiting lists in England have fallen to their lowest ebb in more than two years, latest figures have shown.
However, the decrease remains fairly sluggish, only dropping by 292,000 since the General Election.
The figure, despite being hailed as a sign of things to come, amounts to a mere four per cent dip.
Its clearly-stated goal was to meet the NHS standard of 92 per cent of patients in England waiting no longer than 18 weeks for elective treatment.
But it has been nine years - and five Prime Ministers - since that was last met. The number currently stands at just below 60 per cent.
In the final days of the Tory Government, that number was just below 32 per cent.
Nonetheless, numbers have fallen since the all-time record of October 2023, when 7.68 million people were waiting to be seen.
One day before the party's anniversary in power, the Prime Minister, Chancellor and Health Secretary came together to hail how the "future already looks better for the NHS" under Labour.
Outlining a new 10-year-plan for the Health Service, Starmer said: "I'm not going to stand here and say everything is perfect now, we have a lot more work to do and we will do it.
"But let's be under no illusions: because of the fair choices we made, the tough Labour decisions we made, the future already looks better for our NHS.
"And that is the story of this Government in a nutshell."
The 10-year plan is long, and centres on making the NHS move "from analogue to digital, treatment to prevention, and from hospital to more community care".
By 2028, the NHS App "will be a full front door to the entire NHS" and act as a "doctor in my pocket" for patients, Labour says.
The "8am scramble" will end, the party vows. So will "corridor care".
Nuffield Trust chief executive Thea Stein said the plan contained "little detail on how the ailing health service is to deliver these changes".
But pollsters have backed Labour's leadership on health. "It's one of their strongest cards," one said.
With the five missions's progress drawing ire from all parties, the Prime Minister has been issued a direct call to action.
Scarlett Maguire, director and founder of Merlin Strategy, told GB News: "Keir Starmer needs to focus on delivery.
"Labour still has a lead on the best party to run the NHS. That's still one of their strongest cards.
"Interestingly, fewer people back it to handle the NHS than ever have done previously, but people don’t trust the Conservatives or Reform yet.
"Given how much of a priority that is to voters, they should be doing absolutely everything they can to try and get the NHS properly working.
"But it's difficult - and the avenues for Starmer are difficult.
"They were elected on a mandate of radical change, but radical change can quite often mean passing legislation which might not be popular with everyone in the Commons and we're seeing that Labour is already struggling with that."
'Keir Starmer needs to focus on delivery,' Scarlett Maguire said as the Government 'struggles' to persuade the public on its manifesto missions

Maguire's warning follows that of Dr Simon Griffiths, the head of politics at Goldsmiths, University of London.
"The 'politics of support” which worked for Labour in 2024 will not keep them in power after 2029," he wrote in LSE's Politics and Policy blog. "Labour still has time to build this support - although the challenges it faces are significant."
A Labour spokesman told GB News: "Last year, people voted for change, and this Labour Government has started delivering that.
"Through our plan for change, we have delivered 4 million extra NHS appointments where we promised 2 million.
"We have supported families through free school meals and breakfast clubs.
"We have stabilised the economy which meant that interest rates were cut four times and wages grew more in our first 10 months than in last 10 years of the Conservative Government.
"A lot done, a lot more to do, change has begun."
