UK Labour Govt’s Popularity Crashes to New Record Low as Markets Ramp Up Borrowing Costs

ER Editor: Did we hear a rumour somewhere that Starmer will be replaced? Only with someone far worse? We hope readers are fully getting the point about it being a movie by now. Notice the popularity rating of MINUS 59. C’mon. The scenario described below, about how the govt makes hideous economic judgements that we pay for, reads like satire.

Some funny memes can be found on Twitter —

YouGov found Labour’s approval rating has slumped to minus 59 – with 70% dissatisfied with their performance and 11% satisfied.

The net figure was down five points on a week ago, and the worst the firm has yet detected.

The grim numbers emerged after the PM’s desperate reshuffle ‘sidelined’ Rachel Reeves and sparked a frenzy on markets.

Government borrowing costs have spiked to 27-year highs as investors bet Labour will need to borrow more as the economy slows and MPs clamour for more spending. (ER: it’s beyond ridiculous to the general public)

Gathering his new-look top team in Downing Street for the first time this morning, Sir Keir stepped in to stop them serenading him on his 62nd birthday.

Sir Keir – who has admitted he does not like to be reminded about his age – ordered a halt after several ministers started up the tune.

The dramatic overhaul yesterday saw Sir Keir poach the Chancellor’s deputy to become his own ministerial enforcer and install two economics experts in No. 10.

The move came after alarm that the premier was ‘blindsided’ by the Treasury on plans to slash winter fuel payments and curb benefits – which ended in disastrous U-turns.

But the Tories warned that Left-wing “tax fanatics” had been brought in to conduct a “radical socialist takeover” as Labour faces a black hole of up to £50 billion in the public finances.

MPs have been heaping on pressure for ‘wealth taxes’ to fund fresh spending splurges. (ER: A popular move, n’est-ce pas?)

Worth reading in full.
