He's not unpopular because he's worse than recent Tory leadership, he's unpopular because of how much of a disappointment he's been compared to people's expectations. Mandatory ID is surely going to improve things in that regard...
Labour is supposed to help the people they have been actively working against, it's no surprise he's wildly unpopular.

It should be linked with average duration or something cos if the lettuce will have stayed longer she will have been minus
Who's setting up a lettuce stream? If lettuce streams become a tradition of unwelcome politicians I wouldn't be mad.
Pretty safe to say he's over-hated. Even like colleagues of mine whom I suspect do not follow politics closely refer to him as things like "Kier Stalin".
Maybe I'm old fashioned but a PM is essentially an admin role -- why do we expect that they be inspirational too.
I feel like people don't like him because he's as dull as dishwater. I am not a fan of Kier's politics, but I think he's practical and level headed. Following 14 years of a Tory shit show - I'm suprised people aren't happy with having someone like that in the job and winning some brownie points.
The biggest mistake he's making is that people expected a bit of a shift to oppose what the Conservatives were offering but instead he's also trying to appeal to the right of politics through a lurch to the right. He's not charasmatic or radical enough for that to succeed, so has pushed away the left only to fail to win over the right. Nobody likes him.
I think he’s practical and level headed
He seems to me frightened of the rightwing media and of Reform and twitchily reactive.
You don't defeat the enemy by becoming them.
