Keir Starmer's year from hell


Listen Later

This Friday marks exactly one year since Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister in a landslide victory.


Despite only polling 33pc of the vote share, Labour trounced the Conservatives, came away with an enormous majority of 174, and looked set for two terms of governmental dominance. As Starmer himself put it, Labour was planning for "a decade of national renewal".


Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how - from Lord Alli's free clothes to Rachel Reeves's disastrous budget, from going to war with farmers to the Chagos giveaway, from u-turns on winter fuel payments to u-turns on welfare reforms - Keir Starmer has somehow managed to squander all of the momentum from his election win in just twelve months.


With his record low approval ratings, is he already at risk of being replaced? And if so - who by?
