"With the Autumn Budget fast approaching, a majority of the UK public believe the Labour Prime Minister and Chancellor should both step down, as trust in the party on economic matters sinks, according to the latest polling from Opinium. Over half (56%) think Keir Starmer should resign, compared to 26% who want him to stay, with 19% undecided. Even among 2024 Labour voters, a third (33%) want him to resign, while slightly over a half (52%) think he should remain in office."
"A similar proportion (57%) think Rachel Reeves should resign, while only 19% want her to stay in post, and 24% don't know. Among 2024 Labour voters, only two in five (42%) support her remaining in office, with over a third (38%) saying she should resign. The picture is only slightly rosier for Tory leader, Kemi Badenoch, whom a little over a third (34%) of the public want to remain as Conservative leader, while 28% want her to resign, and two in five (38%) have no opinion."
"Starmer (-41%) and Reeves (-48%) are the least trusted politicians on economic and financial matters. However, the public expressed distrust in all major UK politicians to varying degrees, including Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch (-19%) and Shadow Chancellor, Mel Stride (-18%). Even among 2024 Labour voters, trust in Reeves on the economy is low, with 40% saying they trust her on financial matters, compared to 48% who do not."
