Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer ended his first week as Prime Minister as popular as Boris Johnson was at the height of the vaccine rollout, a poll has found. Keiran Pedley, director of politics at Ipsos, said: “Looking at Keir Starmer’s poll ratings there are increasing signs of the new Prime Minister enjoying something of a honeymoon period during his first few days in office.” Sir Keir’s Government as a whole enjoyed similar approval ratings, with 34% saying they thought it was running the country well and a similar proportion saying they thought it was doing better than expected. Mr Pedley added: “Of course, time will tell how long such ratings last, with Starmer and his Government’s ability to deliver against public priorities likely to dictate their respective political fortunes in the long term.” Just 16% of people thought Labour was doing a bad job running the country, well below the figures saying the same about recent Conservative governments. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said the Government would carefully consider the report’s findings It comes as Sir Keir Starmer said ministers will “carefully consider” reforms proposed by the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, after its first report found British citizens were failed by the previous government during the pandemic.
