Keir Starmer became Prime Minister after Labour's victory in the July 2024 general election, ending 14 years of Conservative government. His administration has focused on economic stability, public service reform, and international relations amid ongoing challenges including the cost of living and NHS waiting lists.
Keir Starmer's legacy scrapes a passing grade from refnation, 53% to 47%, a six-point margin that on 53 votes comes down to a mere three ballots. This is not a verdict so much as a coin-toss with a Labour tilt — the kind of result that flatters no one's talking points.
The real story is gender, not age. Women who voted split 13-7 in Starmer's favour, a clear 65% yes, while men divided almost exactly down the middle at 13-14. That gap, wider than anything the age brackets produced, suggests the PM's stock holds up better with women than with men on this platform, echoing a divide that has shadowed Labour's polling more broadly.
Age, by contrast, offered no clean story. The platform's largest bloc, 25-34s, gave Starmer his best number (59% yes of 29 votes), while the youngest cohort, 16-24, tipped narrowly against him. Everyone over 35 was too thin in number to read with confidence, though none of those small groups broke decisively either way.
A legacy this early in a premiership, still being written amid NHS waits and squeezed budgets, was always going to divide opinion rather than settle it — and that is exactly what the numbers show.
