Sir Keir has led the Labor Party since April 4, 2020, after Corbyn led Labor to its biggest defeat in decades since 1935, taking 32 percent of the vote and 202 seats. Led by the former lawyer, Labor leads the Conservative party in the polls by four points, according to YouGov.
Despite Labor rebounding against the Tories, Britain Elects’ net-favourability follower for the last three Labor leaders sees the current party’s trail behind its predecessor.
Jeremy Corbyn had a net favorable score of -1.6 704 days in his Labor leadership, while Ed Miliband had a -21.7 on the same point.
Sir Keir is currently at -7 points over the same period.
The figures have sparked anger in the party and calls for Sir Keir to be replaced with another MP.
A high-ranking Labor figure said: “Many of us wish we were more ruthless. If it was the Tory party, he would have been gone long ago.”
A source in the shadow cabinet said it was frustrating that Sir Keir was “missing” while the government was engulfed by a cost of living crisis.
After approaching Boris Johnson and Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi to go on holiday, Sir Keir quietly left for a sunny family outing in Mallorca.
A source told The Sun: “Keir seems to think that as the economy is in such a dire state, he doesn’t need to do much.
“He gives the impression because he is 11 points higher in polls, he can sit back and win the next election.”

When Sir Keir was investigated for a Covid rule violation by Durham police earlier in 2022, shadow cabinet members were tipped off as replacements.
Angela Rayner, deputy leader of the Labor Party, has been suggested as a potential replacement and enjoys 25 percent support, 24 percent dislikes, and 68 percent of those polled, according to YouGov.
In contrast, 91 percent of those surveyed have heard of Sir Keir, but he is disliked by 43 percent and loved by 22 percent.
Other possible replacements include shadow Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting, shadow Secretary of State for Leveling Up, Housing and Communities Lisa Nandy and Mayor of Manchester Andy Burnham.
