Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves are now even more unpopular among Britons than Donald Trump and Elon Musk, according to a damning new poll. The survey discovered that while President Trump and Mr Musk are disliked by 57% of voters, around one in four say they like the radical Republican duo, handing them a net score of around -31 points.

By contrast the Chancellor Rachel Reeves is wallowing with net support of just -36, while the PM himself is now the most disliked politician in the country. Sir Keir sits squarely at the bottom of the leaderboard with a paltry -37 point approval rating. This damning feedback from voters is reflected by Reform UK’s approval of +3, a whole 40 points higher than the Prime Minister and the highest of all UK political parties.

While President Trump remains largely unpopular among Britons, his approval rose by a whopping nine points int he past month alone, suggesting a rapid shift in how voters perceive the leader of the free world.

Respondents to the survey were also asked to rank other notable celebrities, public figures and professions.

Farmers, surprisingly, came out on top as the most popular group in Britain, further hinting at why Rachel Reeves’ score is so low.

The Chancellor sparked fury across the country last year when announcing a huge hike to inheritance tax paid by farmers, a move that now threatens thousands of farms with having to sell up.

In second place was King Charles, followed by Jeremy Clarkson who has also been prominent in campaigning against the Government over the so-called Family Farms Tax.
