Read our privacy policy Voters believe Keir Starmer’s government is “incompetent” and “dishonest”, according to a shock new poll. On the key challenge of the economy, just 21 per cent say they trust Labour most on the issue, with 24 per cent saying they prefer the Conservatives, the Tories’ first lead since before Liz Truss was in Downing Street. A new analysis of recent council seat losses also suggests that Sir Keir leads "the most unpopular incoming government of all time". He told The Independent that to turn things around Sir Keir “will have to come up with clear implementation of clear policies.” “We are seeing that people just don’t know what the commitment is… why are we having plans for the NHS not due until March, that is nine months after you come to power,” Lord Hayward said.
