The public think Labour is handling almost every major issue poorly, according to bleak new polling.

A survey of more than 8,000 Britons has shown that most think the Government is doing badly on all but two of 15 important policies.

The YouGov research found that people are particularly scathing about the way Sir Keir Starmer’s administration is tackling three crucial areas.

‘Undoubtedly, the public do mostly think the government are handling many key issues badly, with this particularly noticeable on the three issues that have consistently topped our most important issues tracker since the election: the NHS, immigration and the economy,’ the pollster said.

Three-quarters think immigration is being handled badly, with a majority (52 per cent) saying ministers are doing ‘very badly’, while only one in seven (14 per cent) give Labour positive marks.
