UK's Starmer Gets Poll Boost as He Steps up Ukraine Diplomacy
The number of Britons who think Prime Minister Keir Starmer is doing a good job has risen as he steps up his role in diplomacy over the war in Ukraine, an opinion poll showed. The recent diplomatic efforts have boosted Starmer's image, but concerns about government spending and debt remain. A majority of respondents also support increasing defence spending, even if it means higher taxes or reduced funding for other public services.
- This shift in public perception suggests that Labour's stance on foreign policy may be gaining traction with voters, potentially posing a challenge to the Conservative Party's traditional lead in this area.
- Can Starmer's government balance its efforts to strengthen Britain's diplomatic presence while also addressing pressing domestic issues such as Brexit and the national debt?
