"Starmer overtakes Johnson as preferred choice for prime minister"

Fantastic news. A long way still to go...

"Labour leader Keir Starmer has overtaken Boris Johnson as the public preferred choice for Prime Minister, according to the latest Opinium poll for The Observer.

While the Tories remain four points ahead of Starmer’s party on 43% to Labour’s 39%, the gap has closed from over 20% in February and early March when the Tories enjoyed a regular commanding lead as the country rallied behind the government, and Jeremy Corbyn was reaching the end of his time as Labour leader...".

Thanks for the link. Yes, early days yet and no doubt there will be stumbles on the way but Keir is restoring the British public's faith in the Labour Party.
