"Starmer inspires a loathing on the doorstep that surprised many canvassers these past few weeks. Even his critics concede that his record-breaking unpopularity seems out of proportion to anything he has actually done. Sure, he’s an awful communicator who has made some dire decisions [...] but, as one Labour figure put it to me, it’s not like he has started an illegal war or crashed the economy. And yet he’s reviled as much as late-stage Tony Blair or Liz Truss." https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/may/08/keir-starmer-2026-elections-britain-fragmented-results-labour-politics
