Polling of 2,000 UK adults has shown that Jeremy Corbyn outperforms Keir Starmer on almost all metrics among Reform voters.
The polling was conducted by Merlin Strategy from 25-27 July.
That despite (or because of) Keir Starmer routinely hollowly pandering to their party values, messaging and agenda, with a spectacularly flawed, backfiring, and now irreversibly failed political strategy.
Let’s be absolutely clear on this:
#YourParty will be the best-placed political party vehicle to win over voters and defeat Reform at the next election.
The Labour Party is on the road to becoming nothing more than an unhelpful nuisance that muddies the waters.
A relic.
An irrelevance.
A pest.
That is quite some achievement from Keir Starmer, just 12 months on from winning a general election with a majority of 411 MPs.
One thing that the Great British public fundamentally detests, more than anything, is universal dishonesty.
This caught up with Boris Johnson because he was crass, cavalier and reckless.
In the British psyche, Starmer is worse. He’s not even mildly ‘rouge-likable’, with it.
Who he’s for… Why he does things… What makes him tick?… Most people haven’t a clue—they just viscerally don’t trust anything about him and the government he leads.
That breeds a deepened, irredeemable public suspicion and now rejection, contempt and universal disrespect.
Labour, under Starmer, is now pathologically incapable of winning back any public trust, backing, or confidence from any part of the UK political spectrum.
People who have gravitated to Reform will, largely, be open to other political alternatives that they deem honest, authentic and in their personal interests in the future.
Very few, however, will still be open to Starmer’s Labour Party.
