At the start of the annual Labor Congress in Liverpool, which finds the British prime minister in a new record of anti -diameter and in -party criticism, the Star star He promised today to fight against the far -right.
Just fifteen months after his election and entry into Downig Street number 10, Starmer has many headaches: slowing the economy, unemployment at the highest percentage for four years, irregular migration is breaking a record in record.
At the same time, Nigel Faraj’s far -right partyReform UK, continues to increase his percentages in polls, surpassing labor by 12% In a poll by Ipsos published today, heading to the dissatisfaction of part of British society towards immigration.
“We have the battle of our lives in front of us, we must fight against Reform, we have to beat them,” the workers’ prime minister said today, speaking to the BBC.
“They want to dismantle this country,” he said, describing that the far -right party plan to replace permanent residence permits for non -EU immigrants with visa that must be regularly renewed “racist” and “unethical”.
Kir Starmer, who will address members of the party on Tuesday, intends to present the following parliamentary elections scheduled for 2029 as a choice between the “patriotic renewal” he himself supports and the “toxic divide” supporting the Reform UK.
But some are wondering if the prime minister will be in Downing Street after a few months.
The reason? The blows succeed one another.
In addition to his departures of many of his advisers, at the beginning of September, British Vice President Angela Renner resigned two days after admitting that he had paid a lower tax transfer tax to buy an apartment.
Renner thus became the eighth and departure of the Starmer government minister, and the most detrimental so far, after the British prime minister had offered his full support when he was first accused of deliberately attempting to avoid paying the right tax rate.
In yet another development that brought the British Prime Minister in a difficult position, the British ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson was terminated by his duties because of his relationship with sexual crimes convicted.
The Liverpool Congress will be an opportunity for members of the party “to express their dissatisfaction against Kir Starmer,” Professor of Political Science Steven Fruding told the French Bureau.
“He has the party and the country against him,” he said, as the not -so -charismatic Downing Street tenant recorded the lowest popularity rating – 13% – for British Prime Minister since 1977, Ipsos said today.
“Being a ruling party means dealing with uncertainty, complexity … to take responsibility for difficult decisions,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said, present at the conference, supporting his “friend”.
Overturning data
Certainly, Starmer has undoubtedly achieved internationally, such as the good relationship he has developed with Donald Trump, the coordination of European efforts to support Ukraine and the approach with the European Union, which his government wants to further strengthen with a further reinforcement. But inside, the report does not have the same laurels.
The reform of the welfare state in the spring, which was eventually canceled after a rebellion within its party, and the freezing of heating subsidies for retirees, fueled the rage of the British and the left wing of labor.
And on the issue of immigration, the hard politics and rhetoric of labor does not seem to persuade the British and “makes many members of his party feel uncomfortable,” Peding said.
Starmer’s speech on Tuesday “will not be a speech of last chance” but “a critical time” to “clearly determine his vision of the future,” Patrick Daiamond, a professor of political science at the University of London, judge at the French Agency.
Already, there are many speculations about the ambitions of Manchester mayor Andy Bernam to take over the reins of the party.
The latter has invited Starmer to adopt a more left line and claimed to have received calls from MPs to run for the party leadership.
The prime minister does not seem to be threatened immediately, thanks to his strong majority and regulations in the Labor Party.
“It still has time to change things,” Diamond said. At least until the next local elections, scheduled for May 2026.
Unless Labor members elect Lucy Powell, who was recently expelled by the government, second in the party’s hierarchy in October, against Education Minister Bridget Philipsson, who is known to be available to the Prime Minister. This could be seen as “as a vote against Starmer”, Peding warns.
