The Labor Congress begins, with the Prime Minister’s challenged by the party base of the Prime Minister to say he is determined to dismantle the populist reform UK, which has been ahead of the polls.

It’s a weird time worldwide. Particular and unpredictable leaders, who cause even more special and unpredictable situations while at the same time most of us are concerned with the evolution of everyday life. A similar crisis is going through the United Kingdom, which could not be left out of this … wide reality as it is actively involved in the “common”.

This is how we see a rise to the populist reform UK, Nigel Faraj and its supporters. Characteristic are Yougov’s poll findings just two days ago, from a sample of 13,000 Britons. According to this, if the elections were now held, the reform UK would not only be a winner with 311 seats but would only be 15 seats behind the absolute majority in the House of Commons. At the same time, the Labor Party would come second, winning just 144 seats and losing 267 now.

These figures come while the national elections were held just 14 months before and while Reform UK leader Nigel Faraj had entered the ballots a month ago.

Court’s expectations low

And we come to today: this year’s annual Labor Congress that begins on Sunday in Liverpool – the party’s stronghold – and will last until Wednesday, October 1st. No air of success is exuded as for months the government party is second in the polls, and even leader and Prime Minister Sir Kir Starmer is questioned about his abilities in this position, with succession scenarios already making their appearance.

Starmer seems to make an agonizing effort to clarify both his own position and the wider plans of the workers, with numerous interviews in British newspapers such as Telegraph, Sunday Times and Mirror and today he also spoke on the BBC breakfast program. This mobility shows that the prime minister is not so nonchalant with the existing situation and his official speech on Tuesday will prove to be one of the main steps to overthrow it.

“Historical Battle” and “Patriotic Renewal”

At the same time, Starmer’s attention seems to be turning exclusively to one thing: to the populist reform UK. As he described, he is an “enemy” who aims to “dismantle the country” with his “racist” policy.

Indeed, the British prime minister promised a “patriotic renewal”, a language that is not common by the center -left party, referring to a “historic battle” to redefine the concept. At the same time, he stressed that the plan of Nigel Faraj, who became known this week, to abolish the permit of an indefinite time of residence is “racist” and “immoral”.

Leadership and popularity problems

But the Labor Party is also fighting inside. This week, Manchester Mayor Andy Bernham is at the heart of news titles as the dominant leadership appears. Kir Starmer talked about a situation facing every prime minister, which is “in the duties of work”, while commenting as “butter on the bread” of politics.

Analysts do not believe so much in this scenario. At least for the time. As highlighted, Andy Bernam is not an active MP, so he must leave both his position as mayor and participate in a vaccine electoral process – which he must win – and then be able to endanger the Starmer leadership.

The truth is, however, that Starmer is at the bottom of British prime ministers’ popularity and is preference for Liz Trars. It remains to be seen if at the four -day conference he will regain the confidence of voters and if Starmer himself will be the one who leads this effort.
