Voters trust Sir Keir Starmer over Rishi Sunak on all leadership qualities including the economy and foreign policy, new polling has shown.

Sir Keir leads Mr Sunak across every one of the 17 characteristics polled Redfield & Wilton including “can build a strong economy”, where he leads by 39 per cent to 32 per cent.

The Labour leader also trumps the Prime Minister on “works well with foreign leaders”, a metric Mr Sunak had led on as recently as June 26. Sir Keir is now out in front by five percentage points, with his biggest leads (16 percentage points) on “can bring British people together” and “cares about people like me”.

Figures from the poll also show Mr Sunak’s rating has sunk to its joint-lowest score nationally since February 26. He is now on minus 16 points, having started his premiership in positive territory.

It came as The Telegraph revealed Mr Sunak is considering reshuffling his Cabinet in September rather than later this month after senior ministers pushed for a delay.
