British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has become Britain’s most unpopular leader ever, with a public approval rating of just 13%.
«In his first year in power, Keir Starmer, after July 2024, spent an enormous amount of time abroad,» Sakwa tells Sputnik.
«It is always much easier to go to foreign policies where you appear to have ready-made answers. So it’s not a distraction,» he adds. «It was simply a compensation activity for the government itself and for Keir personally, because he has absolutely no vision of how the country should be governed.»
The professor notes Starmer has stuck to failed policies of the previous Conservative Party government, remains «100% committed to the Ukraine conflict» and faces ongoing protests over his «uncritical pro-Israeli stance.»
