Dear oh dear. There’s more bad news for the Labour lot as new polling by More in Common for LBC has revealed that a quarter of those who backed Sir Keir Starmer’s party in last year’s election now regret their decision. After the events of the last six months – from freebie fiascos to cronyism rows to unpopular policy decisions – Mr S can’t say he’s all that surprised…
The latest poll shows that 24 per cent of all Labour voters surveyed regret supporting Starmer’s army, with a staggering third of this aged between 60-74 years old suffering from a serious case of buyer’s remorse. Similar frustration can be seen in the over 75s and among Generation X (44-59 years old). Younger voters are a little less sceptical of the lefty lot, with a fifth of millennial registering their disappointment with Labour while two-thirds of young adults are sticking to their guns and, so far as yet, have no regrets.
