The left’s and right’s ratings are both down, with Labour PM’s conference speech coming as a result.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced the difficult task of rallying his party amid the bleak ratings on Wednesday, one year after his enormous victory in the election.
The right-wing Reform UK Party, led by Nigel Farage, poses his biggest threat. Labour is pressing for more border security because of its hardline stance on immigration.
Starmer’s speech at the Labour Party conference displayed energy and passion, qualities he has come under fire for in recent months.
Will Starmer’s success be assured, or will his days in office be over?
