BBC Turns on Labour With New ‘Starmer’s Stormy Year’ Documentary

In a sign of the times the BBC is beginning to turn on Starmer. Downing Street will be asking: “How did it get to this?”

The BBC’s political team is working up a radio documentary called “Starmer’s Stormy Year” to be released just ahead of the one-year anniversary of Labour in power. What a year it’s been…

The blurb spells it out:

“Why did the government have such a shaky start? Ministers blame the inheritance from the Conservatives but were some of the crises self-inflicted? Are critics right to claim the government was chaotically ill-prepared? Can Labour win back confidence and support from voters?

As we explore, we ask a fundamental question: what is this government for? ‘Change’ was Labour’s core message at the general election. How does Keir Starmer want to change Britain and how far is he succeeding?”

Weekend analysis from Britain Elects shows Starmer to be the least popular PM after 300 days in power since the 70s:

• +46 Tony Blair
• +21 John Major
• +19 Boris Johnson
• +18 Theresa May
• -6 Margaret Thatcher
• -6 David Cameron
• -22 Rishi Sunak
• -30 Gordon Brown
• -33 Keir Starmer

The documentary should be fun. Out 30 June…
