More than three out of five people think Starmer does not respect them
But a survey from More In Common and the UCL Policy Lab, published on Tuesday, suggested 63% of the public now thought the Prime Minister did not respect people like them, almost twice the 32% that thought so before the 2024 election.
And while 41% of the public thought Sir Keir did respect them before the election, that figure has fallen to 24%.
The poll also suggested that a perceived lack of respect from political elites was driving support for Reform UK, with supporters of that party more likely to think politicians as a whole disrespect them.
Some 85% of Reform supporters said they thought politicians did not respect their contribution to society, while 86% thought politicians did not respect their values.
But while Reform leader Nigel Farage scored more highly than the two main party leaders on respecting the public, 50% of those surveyed still said he did not respect people like them.
That compared to 56% for Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and 63% for Sir Keir.
And just 33% thought Mr Farage did respect them, compared to 24% for both Mrs Badenoch and Sir Keir.
Tuesday's poll has been published alongside a report from More in Common and the UCL Policy Lab examining how public opinion has changed since the general election.
It found 77% of people still thought it was time for change, while the most popular answer to the question of what had changed since Labour came to power was 'nothing'.
Marc Stears, director of the UCL Policy Lab, said: 'What voters want to know most of all is: who does this Government stand for? What kind of people does it most respect? Whose interests does it put first?
'A lot of the electorate thought they knew the answer to that one year ago. Now they're not so sure.'
The joint poll surveyed more than 7,000 people in May and June this year.

Ministers face fresh challenge to welfare reforms in Wednesday votes
Ministers face a fresh challenge to their welfare reforms from Labour backbenchers, who have warned that the Government is being 'stubborn and obstinate' in its efforts. The Department for Work and Pensions will try to steer the Universal Credit Bill through its final Commons stages, including clause-by-clause scrutiny, on Wednesday. The Bill, if agreed to, would roll out two different rates of benefit for claimants who cannot currently work. It would also freeze the limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCW and LCWRA) elements of the benefit until 2030. The PA news agency understands that a 'substantial number' of Labour rebels have agreed to vote to gut the Bill of these reforms, if they can trigger a division. When MPs debated the reforms last week, Government frontbenchers rolled back on their plan to reform the separate personal independence payment (Pip) benefit, vowing to revisit any proposed changes only after a review by social security minister Sir Stephen Timms. 'The Government for all the goodwill of pulling clause five on Pip, they've lost it over being so stubborn and obstinate over clauses two and three,' Labour MP for York Central Rachael Maskell said. Clause two of the Bill includes a framework for two rates of LCWRA, with claimants who are eligible for the benefit before April 2026 able to claim a higher rate than later applicants. Claimants who are terminally ill or who have severe symptoms of an illness which 'constantly' apply would also be eligible for the higher rate, regardless of when they become eligible. Ms Maskell has proposed a change to the reforms, so that someone who has slipped out of and then back into the LCWRA eligibility criteria either side of April 2026 would still be able to claim the higher rate. Approving this change would be like 'gathering up the crumbs rather than getting the full course meal', she said. Asked what the Government should do to tackle welfare costs, Ms Maskell told the PA news agency: 'We've got to put the early interventions in to take people off this path of ill health. 'We've got quite a sick society at the moment for all the reasons that we know, a broken NHS, you know, social care not being where it should be, and of course long-term Covid. 'All of that is having its impact, and the endemic mental health challenges that people are facing. 'But to then have the confidence that your programme is so good that it's going to get loads of these people into work and employers are going to have to fulfil their obligations in the future hopefully after the Charlie Mayfield report (the Keep Britain Working review) will make those recommendations – all of that, great, as far as it goes. 'But what we can't do is leave those people that can't work in poverty, because they would love to work and earn money, but they can't, so we have to pay for it. 'And therefore the people who've got the good fortune of earning money, whether it's through income or assets, they're the people that are going to have to support a wider society.' Labour MP for Poole Neil Duncan-Jordan proposed gutting the Bill through a series of draft amendments, to strike clause two and cancel the freeze in clause three. He and Ms Maskell were two of 49 MPs who unsuccessfully tried to block the Bill at second reading, when it cleared its first Commons hurdle by 335 votes to 260, majority 75. Amid fears the Bill had been rushed through Parliament, and referring to the Liberal reformer William Beveridge who published a post-war blueprint for the welfare state in 1942, Mr Duncan-Jordan asked: 'Beveridge didn't design the welfare state on the back of a postage stamp, did he?' Beyond changes to parts of the benefit specifically for people who cannot currently work, the Bill would demand an above-inflation rise to the universal credit standard allowance each year until 2030.

James McMurdock says he will not return to Reform UK after Covid loan questions
The MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock 'removed the party whip from himself' last week pending the outcome of an investigation relating to allegations around 'business propriety during the pandemic'. The Sunday Times published a story on Saturday which alleged two businesses connected to Mr McMurdock took out Covid-19 loans totalling £70,000 during the pandemic, one of which had no employees. On Tuesday, the MP said he 'had a chance to take specialist legal advice from an expert in the relevant field' since the loans came to light. Writing on social media site X, he added: 'In light of that advice, which is privileged and which I choose to keep private at this time, I have decided to continue my parliamentary career as an independent MP where I can focus 100% on the interests of my constituents.' Further to my statement tweeted on 5th July 2025. I have now had a chance to take specialist legal advice from an expert in the relevant field. In light of that advice, which is privileged and which I choose to keep private at this time, I have decided to continue my… — James McMurdock MP (@JMcMurdockMP) July 8, 2025 According to Companies House, Mr McMurdock is listed as the current director of Gym Live Health and Fitness Limited, and a former director of J A M Financial Limited, a position he resigned in 2021. Both firms are shown to have overdue accounts and confirmation statements, and both have an 'active proposal to strike off'. Mr McMurdock insisted when the Sunday Times news story broke that 'all my business dealings had always been conducted fully within the law and in compliance with all regulations and that appropriately qualified professionals had reviewed all activity confirming the same'. He said he had asked for the Reform whip to be suspended temporarily as a 'precautionary measure'. The chairwoman of the Labour Party said Nigel Farage 'sat on his hands' over the allegations and that the Reform UK leader should 'come clean with the public about what he knew and when'. 'After these serious allegations surfaced, Nigel Farage sat on his hands. He took no action against James McMurdock and instead outsourced the problem – that's not leadership,' MP Ellie Reeves said. She added: 'Farage's Reform has proven once again that they simply cannot uphold the high standards expected in public life.' Of the five MPs elected under the Reform UK banner in July 2024, two now sit as Independents. Rupert Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth, was suspended earlier this year following allegations about his conduct which he has denied. Sarah Pochin won the Runcorn by-election in May, meaning that Reform now has four MPs.

Emmanuel Macron would love to be King
When Japan's Crown Prince Naruhito visited Windsor Castle in the early years of the 21st century, the Queen Mother gave orders that, over where he would give his speech, should be positioned the sword with which the Japanese forces had formally surrendered to Lord Mountbatten in 1945. Only an intervention from her daughter prevented this plot from becoming a reality. If I were the King I'd be counting the spoons this evening This afternoon, President Macron gave his speech underneath a statue of an old Queen. The verb in French cuisine for such unnecessary but beautiful touches like this is 'historier'. True, Elizabeth I was more francophone than most of her dynasty – or successors – until perhaps the current monarch, but putting him underneath her was inspired. It was a monarch, the present King who proved the government's secret weapon. As he had been with President Trump, so he would be with President Macron. Over the course of Sir Keir's attempt to launch a charm offensive to our long standing love/hate objects across the Channel, the King took the leading role. General de Gaulle might have succeeded in being a head of state without a state, but whether Sir Keir can manage a charm offensive whilst being devoid of charm is quite another matter. Mr Macron arrived late to Parliament, presumably because Buck House was more his cup of tea. He referenced his affection for the King multiple times in the speech, including when he said 'We love monarchy especially when it is not at home.' Je pense the lady doth protest too much. I saw the covetous eye which Mr Macron cast at the ermine and thrones. If I were the King I'd be counting the spoons this evening. The actual content of the speech itself was remarkable; precisely because it sounded like we'd heard it all before. In terms of content, Macron hit every big centrist button. Imagine Sir Keir Starmer with a comedy accent. A sort of Officer Crabtree in Allo Allo but more hapless. The general theme was about collaboration – this time not the Allo Allo type but on mutual areas of policy interest. The migrant crisis got about a minute and a half of vague promises of cooperation and a need to cut things off at source. Internet censorship, which brings out M. Macron's Napoleonic dictatorial tendencies, got a long and rhetorically polished section. He even mentioned Sir Keir's own personal cinematic Gospel: the drama Adolescence. The problem was, while it was Starmerite – or should that be Starmeriste – in its topics, it was a reminder of how much better the French President is at selling centrist preoccupations than our own PM. He didn't apologise for history but set his global aims in the context of French and British imperial history; he made an argument couched, not in the jargon of human rights law, but in the language of civilisational struggle. He didn't make any lame football jokes either. Yet perhaps as befits comparison to our own Prime Minister, it was a remarkably substance-free speech: lots of stuff about how wonderful working together was in theory, but little about what it looked like in practice. Most substantive was an explicit call for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but that's been Anglo-French policy since the 1990s. Also, for all Macron's talk about robust and independent foreign policy, the power or willingness to do something on the ground is minimal. Like most cross-Channel initiatives, this was still two bald men extolling the virtues of combs. It's just that one of them has the decency to wear a wig. Or rather, un toupée. There were still some lapins to be pulled from chapeaux. M. Macron announced that next year would be the year that the plan to swap the Bayeux Tapestry for the Sutton Hoo treasures on a mutual loan would finally come to fruition. In some ways it was the perfect metaphor for Anglo-French relations, even Macron made the joke that the idea had first been discussed during Theresa May's premiership: Brexit was sorted quicker than this. Now, a stony-hearted cynic might say that the exchange is even more symbolic of the two countries' recent relations: we give gold, they send us paperwork. Yet for all the glitter of the state visit, the great elephant in the room, the one issue that will end up shaping the future of cross-Channel politics soon, whether our centrist leaders like it or not, remained unaddressed. And on a sunny day in the Channel, more and more dinghies came.
