Sir Keir Starmer has been dealt a devastating polling blow as Labour voters have shown a preference for Margaret Thatcher to the current Labour Prime Minister.
Recent findings from pollster More in Common have proven that Britons are vastly unimpressed with Keir Starmer’s first five months in Downing Street, as even his own party’s supporters have ranked him below the likes of former Tory leaders Boris Johnson and John Major.
Asked who their favourite PM from the past 40 years was, Thatcher won 33 per cent of the vote, while Tony Blair attracted a respectable 20 per cent.
Boris Johnson and Blair’s successor Gordon Brown were tied for third place at 10 per cent, while Keir Starmer won a measly four per cent of the vote.

In fact, around 14 per cent of Labour Party voters chose Margaret Thatcher – the quintessential Conservative figurehead, whose images are still proudly hanging on the walls of CCHQ – as their favourite Prime Minister over Starmer.
Former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair – who led his party to electoral victory three times in a row – was the fan favourite among Labour supporters with 37 per cent, with Gordon Brown next with 15 per cent.
Baroness Thatcher snatched the third runner up spot with 14 per cent – five points ahead of straggling Starmer.
However, the current Prime Minister was closely followed by Lord Cameron of Chipping Norton who received eight per cent of support.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Since setting up shop in No10 five months ago, Starmer has experienced a tumultuous time navigating his Cabinet through several crises – from the summer riots to his Chancellor’s disastrous first Budget.
However, despite receiving a massive landslide at the last General Election, Keir Starmer led his party to victory with one of the lowest vote shares for any Government.
With a massive share of 412 seats out of 650, Keir Starmer only achieved 34 per cent of votes across the nation – while the Conservatives won 24 per cent.
Thanks to the electoral system of first past the post, Reform UK received five parliamentary seats, despite receiving 14 per cent of votes overall.
Farmers protesting against the changes in LondonGetty Starmer has received consistent criticism for his Government’s actions – and sometimes lack thereof.
The Prime Minister’s Cabinet has now started to come under fire as former Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resigned at the end of November over her criminal conviction from a decade ago.
The most amount of endless fury, however, has erupted from his Government’s Budget and axing the winter fuel allowance for freezing pensioners.
Despite running a campaign based on delivering for working people, Treasury documents have outlined a whopping £40billion tax raid, including an inheritance tax raid on farmers’ assets – leading to a furious protest along Whitehall in November.
