Which will lose their party's favour first?

Kier will definitely lose favour first. Its fairly easy to keep favour when in opposition and criticising from the sidelines, but much harder when you are in the 'hotseat' and have to make real life decisions rather than saying 'I would do this, I would do that'. He has already lost a lot of his popularity since coming to power I think

Well based on the recent longevity of the various party leaders, I think betting on labour ones to last longer than Tory is pretty safe.

Kemi is extreme right wing. Elections are won from the centre. Pragmatic, compromising Keir.

Another post to gee along the thread. Who rates Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves? I like Wes Streeting and I think he has some sensible ideas for the reform of the NHS. Ed Milliband is a dreamer; his brother was more pragmatic.

Keir Starmer is already unpopular I think, but then he has been leader for ages.

I think Kemi will win the next election.

I agree.

I think Kemi Badenoch is likely to outlast Keir Starmer.
