More than half of Brits say they believe Keir Starmer should resign as prime minister, according to a new poll.

Researchers at Opinium have found that 54% of the public now want the Labour leader to step down from his post in No.10, compared to just 24% who want him to stay in place – and 21% who don’t know.

That’s even higher than the 45% who wanted his Tory predecessor Rishi Sunak to quit in April 2024.

That was a month before the Conservative prime minister called a disastrous general election where the Tories suffered their worst electoral defeat ever.
