SIR KEIR STARMER has seen a jump in the number of Britons saying Labour is ready for Government, according to a new poll.
The exclusive Ipsos survey for The Standard showed nearly half of adults (47 per cent) say Labour is ready for Government, up eight points since May. It is Labour's equal best score under Sir Keir, equal best since it went into Opposition in 2010, and the same level as Lord Cameron got in April 2010, before becoming PM. A third (34 per cent) disagree that Labour is ready for Government, down three points since May.
The poll was published amid the row over whether senior Tories told "lies" over their party's claim that Labour would hit households with a £2,000 tax hike, after the first TV showdown debate between Rishi Sunak and Sir Keir and following Nigel Farage's U-turn to become Reform UK leader.
