France24: Why is Keir Starmer so unpopular?

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing a leadership crisis after over 80 members of the Labour Party called for his resignation following disastrous local elections. Although he achieved a landslide victory in 2024, his popularity has drastically declined, being considered the most unpopular British leader in history. Criticism of Starmer focuses on the perception that he is boring and lacking in dynamism, and his moderation does not resonate in a post-Brexit polarized era. He is also accused of failing to fulfill electoral promises, particularly regarding the improvement of public services and the management of the cost of living crisis. Despite the pressures, Starmer refuses to resign, considering that an important speech by the king is upcoming, which will formalize his government's policies. His proposals include ambitious reforms, but it remains to be seen whether he will stay in office to implement them.
