I actually don’t think so in the sense he still had supporters - with Starmer he’s got less distractors but also less supporters. It’s dislike or just indifference
The only reason Reform and the Greens are hovering is because of him and his clueless idiot chancellor.
I suspect the bloodbath in May will mean they are both fucked for good.

I don’t count Liz Truss I just forget about her but this sums it up really

‘Jellyfish’ and ‘doormat’: why is Keir Starmer so deeply unpopular?
From his public persona to a sense that he sold the country a pup, many factors seem to feed a sense of ‘great dislike’

Just going on job approval, Starmer is tracking a bit worse than Johnson even at his peak, though it's close.

Johnson peak 'bad' was -51, Starmer currently -55.

You’re either being very disingenuous or have an extremely short memory. Liz Truss broke all records and by some distance for nett approval. She didn’t even enjoy a honeymoon period. Starmer has to fall another 20 plus points to match her

I think I’ve already said that Tonester but it’s scraping the barrel to try and say “hey I’m better than Liz but not as good as Bojo”
What a slogan

Sunak was also at -50 in his last few months.

He was as Starmer and Reeves keep blathering on about at the arse end of “14 years of failure” - so you’d think the new bright dawning light of the new beginnings should be better - not worse!

It’s not a good slogan at all but I never said it was. That’s just your whataboutery. The ultimate irony that policy wise there’s a gnats cock between Boris and Starmer, renationalising railways aside.
If we’re doing whataboutery do you think Boris would have blindly followed the US and Israel in bombing Iran. I suspect at least he would have allowed airbases on British soil to be used for launching the attacks. I mean after all Boris did consider invading Netherlands to get COVID jabs so he sounds stupid enough to follow Israel and the US into Iran.

I agree. He was given an enormous majority and started out with goodwill and a clean slate from the electorate.
Within months it became apparent he was almost on a solo mission to become as unpopular as possible. I say almost, his sidekick Severus Snape is even worse.

You should read both their manifestos. Then put them into a Venn diagram, lots of overlap, lots.
Do you think Boris would have involved us in the Iran war?

And both those alternatives would have very different responses. One would steadfastly oppose, the other would jump in with the US so enthusiastically it'd make Starmer look he's giving strong opposition to the US.
