Sir Keir Starmer has been hit with a brutal verdict in a new Channel 4 documentary, with voters delivering a damning assessment of his leadership. In Keir Starmer: Where Did It All Go Wrong?, presenter Lewis Goodall explores how Labour's popularity has plunged - with stark polling suggesting deep public frustration. When asked what Starmer stands for, many respondents reportedly answered "nothing", while 59% of the 2,000 people surveyed said Labour "doesn't have a clue" under his leadership.

The findings grow even more bleak, with 67% claiming their lives are worse since he took office and 65% saying he is acting too slowly. The programme also claimed Starmer is now the "most unpopular Prime Minister since records began", with just 13% approval - even lower than Liz Truss during her short-lived time in office. The findings paint an even bleaker picture for the Prime Minister, with little confidence that a change in leadership would improve matters.

Almost half of those surveyed - 48% - said anyone replacing Starmer within Labour would be just as bad or worse, suggesting the party's problems run deeper than one individual.

More than half, 53%, blamed Labour for what is currently going wrong in Britain, while six in ten said they do not believe the party will be able to turn things around before the next election.

The documentary went further still, branding Starmer a "figure who squandered the inheritance of a huge parliamentary majority because he was a man without a plan."

Viewers also took to social media to share their verdict on the programme, with reactions ranging from measured to outright furious. One wrote: "Just finished watching Keir Starmer: Where Did It All Go Wrong? On Channel 4, enjoyable enough, however, I can't help but feel it needed to be at least an hour and a half longer."

Others were far more scathing, with one posting: "If Liz Truss crashed the economy, Keir Starmer stabbed it to death." Another added: "Useless Keir Starmer, he doesn't care about the UK and their people."

The documentary itself featured a mix of voices from across the political spectrum. Alan Johnson and Bridget Phillipson put forward a defence of the Prime Minister, while Labour figures including John McDonnell and Kim Johnson were more critical.

Former Conservative minister Michael Gove offered a more balanced view - but contributors broadly agreed Starmer lacks strong political convictions.

Goodall also highlighted how Starmer abandoned many of the left-wing policies he championed during his leadership campaign, arguing the shift to the right may have been "smart politics at the time" but ultimately left Labour vulnerable, opening the door for the Greens to attract disillusioned progressive voters.
