Voters in the UK have delivered a damning verdict on Kemi Badenoch’s start as Tory leader.
BusinessDay reports that the number who think she is a “prime minister in waiting” has fallen during her first six weeks in the job, according to a YouGov poll.
Badenoch took over from Rishi Sunak on November 2 after defeating Robert Jenrick in the Conservative leadership contest.
Two weeks later, YouGov found that 47% of the public did not think she was a PM in waiting, compared to just 15% who did.
A new poll carried out in the past week showed that 53% now think she is not ready to enter No.10, while the number who think she is had fallen to 13%.
Meanwhile, 37% of voters think she is doing a bad job as Tory leader, compared to just 20% who do not.
The findings appear to confirm that Badenoch has got off to a bad start as leader of the opposition.
