Brits have bleak outlook for 2025

Dear oh dear. The Labour lot have not fared well in opinion polling this year and More in Common’s New Year poll has certainly not bucked that trend. The new survey, which quizzed more than 2,400 people, reveals that half of Brits believe 2025 will be worse than 2024 – while less than a quarter think it will be better. It’s yet more bad news for Starmer’s army…

The new polling suggests that nearly 20 per cent of people are concerned next year will be ‘much worse’ than the last 12 months – while a quarter believe 2025 will remain the same. Even a third of Labour voters are convinced things will get worse next year, while almost two-thirds of Reform and Tory voters feel the same. Crikey. 

And there are some rather interesting thoughts about what exactly will happen in 2025. Almost a third of Brits think Sir Keir Starmer will resign as PM, with just over a quarter convinced that 2025 will be the year Prince William becomes King.
