Top 14 Most Unpopular Individuals
- Rachel Reeves (Chancellor, Labour) — Net favourability: roughly –37% to –48%, one of the most unpopular in Cabinet at mid‑2025.
- Kemi Badenoch (Conservative Party Leader / Opposition) — Net around –32% to –38%, worst-rated Tory leader to date.
- Keir Starmer (Prime Minister, Labour) — Net roughly –29% to –32%, with unfavourable ratings climbing to over 50%.
- Angela Rayner (Deputy Prime Minister, Labour) — Net around –24% to –30%.
- Ed Miliband (Energy Secretary, Labour) — Net approximately –26%.
- Robert Jenrick (Shadow Justice Secretary, Conservative) — Net around –22%.
- Boris Johnson (former Prime Minister, Independent/Reform figure) — Net roughly –26% to –32%, still notably disliked.
- Nigel Farage (Reform UK leader) — Net about –30% to –19%, relatively divisive but still broadly disliked by many.
- Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat Leader) — Net roughly –2% to –7%, among the least unpopular among leaders.
- Roger Godsiff — Regularly labelled “Britain’s laziest MP” due to extremely low attendance and parliamentary participation.
- Rosie Duffield (formerly Labour, now Independent) — Extremely low participation, attendance below 31%; recently became a flashpoint for resignations from the Labour whip.
- Andrew Rosindell — Controversy over far‑right associations and overseas travel; regarded as divisive within public discourse.
- Paul Scully — Accusations of Islamophobic remarks sparked significant local and national criticism.
- David Pinto‑Duschinsky — Holds the smallest majority in Parliament (15 votes), but as a newly elected MP, not widely known—however, vulnerability and minimal profile contribute to media criticism.
Other MPs frequently cited in local surveys or constituent forums for poor performance, lack of impact, or scandal can reasonably be considered among the lower‑ranked (relative unpopularity), though individual polling is seldom published.
