Eejit-
This is why you shouldn't use 'Stats for Lefties' as a source. Their 'Starmer is less popular than Corbyn' only works if you limit it to the specific quarter, and only use the previous quarter as the sole reference point. If you look at the net figures the popularity is:
Starmer: -25%
Corbyn: -39%They've been taken to task for this by people who understand the data better than I do: https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1445749806169612305
In any event it's dishonest to compare how popular a party leader is with an ex party leader. The key stat is how popular they are/were AS leader and on that score Starmer has only recently plumbed the depths of Corbyn's most popular moments (Corbyn being the least popular opposition leader in UK history). I'm far from happy about that, of course. But it's dishonest to say Starmer is less popular than Corbyn. He just isn't.

This is the data it’s based on and you have to really torture it to get to a point where Starmer is less popular than Corbyn.
