00:00It seems that the Labour Party has frittered away all the goodwill and the gains that it

00:08made in its historic election win in Britain just a few months ago. Just three months into

00:14his stunning victory, Sakhir Starmer's popularity ratings have dipped so badly that one poll

00:19shows that he's actually less popular than even Rishi Sunak was when he was Prime Minister.

00:24Of course, it's not hard to see why. There have been a series of scandals and controversies

00:29that have dogged Starmer's government, not least of which is a scandal surrounding more

00:34than £100,000 worth of clothes and other freebies that he got as donations when he

00:39was a Member of Parliament since 2019. This even includes more than £2,000 worth of eyeglasses.

00:46The Prime Minister of Britain now says he's not going to take clothing donations anymore,

00:50though he's been pretty wishy-washy on the rest. It's not a good look for him, and many

00:55wonder whether all his promises to be different from the Tories during the election campaign

01:00was just election rhetoric at the end of the day. Other policy decisions also, such as

01:05a winter fuel allowance cut for pensioners, have also put Labour in the doghouse. As polls

01:12in Britain show, Labour has clearly lost the advantage that it had when it won this election,

01:18and it needs to change the narrative quickly because the people of Britain have very little

01:23patience this time.
