Nigel Farage has said Keir Starmer’s ‘real problem’ is that he ‘doesn’t connect with ordinary people.’
Speaking on GB News Nigel Farage said:
“We are just seventeen months into something quite remark given that two thirds of the seats in the House of Commons are held by Keir Starmer’s Labour Party. I know they only got a third of the vote, but that really isn’t the point.
“They have sunk. His personal popularity is now down – can you believe it – to only 13%. Only 13% of a latest Ipsos Mori poll think the PM is doing a good job.
“Last week, there were two opinion polls that put Labour fourth behind the now resurgent, hard left greens.
“So it’s no real wonder that the backbenchers are getting pretty unhappy, because above all, what they want to do is keep their seats at the next election.
“But it would now appear that the problem may just be the back benches, but actually the front benches as well. And Kemi Badenoch was you know, I have to say, perhaps doing better today than she does at some PMQs, and she was questioning the Prime Minister’s right hand man, Morgan McSweeney.
“Starmer, McSweeney, Reeves: it’s probable if one of them was to go in the end, they would all go – No wonder he defends McSweeney. But McSweeney is the one trying to keep the party in the relatively sensible centre ground against the left wing threat.
“Well, the man at the centre of all of this is the ever-ambitious Wes Streeting. Just think to yourself, is it somebody who’s genuinely funny, or was it somewhat over rehearsed?
“My view would be heavily over rehearsed and not too genuine, but there’s a website up and running. It’s Wes for Leader. Now that could be a bit of fun, but here’s the serious bit.
“Starmer is clearly in very, very real trouble. There are elements of what we saw over the last 24 hours that reminded me ever so slightly at the beginning of the rebellion against Boris Johnson.
“And I don’t think this is actually about policy or politics. I think it’s about Starmer’s personality. He’s wooden. He doesn’t connect with ordinary voters and ordinary people. He may be a perfectly decent human being, but he doesn’t connect.”
