Voters believe Sir Keir Starmer is the worst prime minister in modern history after five months in the job, a damning poll for the Mail has found.
The only PM to score worse was Mrs Thatcher (-52) in 1979.However, she inherited already soaring inflation rates of more than 15 per cent from her Labour predecessors James Callaghan and Harold Wilson, which she eventually wrestled down to less than 5 per cent by the mid-80s.
A whopping six in ten (61 per cent) people said they were 'dissatisfied' with the PM's track record — including more than a third (39 per cent) of Labour supporters.
It gives Sir Keir a 'net satisfaction' rating of -34 in the survey by Ipsos, which has been tracking the popularity of new PMs since Margaret Thatcher's tenure.
