Finally, approval ratings...
Corbyn's approval rating over his first three months collapsed from an unimpressive -8, to a disastrous -32
Starmer, by contrast, improved his already strong net approval rating of +19 to an impressive +25
Starmer is way ahead of Johnson on -5

In concluding, Starmers first three months contrast very favourably with Corbyn's.
So the next time someone (such as a bitter RLB supporter) claims Starmer isn't doing an effective job, politely point them to this thread.
The data is clear - Starmer is performing well.
