Dawn Neesom said: “It’s been a bit of a rocky road to be fair, not exactly a great honeymoon period. But you could argue this is all of his own making.”
Claire Pearsall responded: “It is, a lot of this is of his own making. The fact that he has taken every opportunity to leave the country to go jetting off somewhere, this is the man who wanted to finish at 5pm on a Friday. How many flights is he allowed to take?
“He seems to have taken every opportunity to go to every single thing abroad that he possibly can, whether it was needed or not.

“So yes, I agree that politicians need to have a break, I don’t have an issue with that, we only need to take a look at the number of holidays went on, the country can still run without a Prime Minister, but don’t make such a big thing about it. Why are we all having this conversation of ‘oh he looks very tired, oh it is a lot of stress, well yes because running the country isn’t easy.”
She concluded: “You’ve made such a hash of it,” as she added: “All of this is your own making.”

After facing a disastrous start of the year, with backlash to the change to winter fuel payments, inheritance tax for farmers, and public smoking ruless, the Prime Minister is said to be “needing a lot of soothing and a lot of buoying up at the moment”.
While Downing Street have denied this claim, a friend told MailOnline: “He talks a good game about needing to take the unpopular decisions now, and expecting this resistance, but I don’t think he realised quite how unpopular they – or he – would be.”
A senior Downing Street official said: “Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair managed to last a decade, but they were in a different league – and the world was a different place.”
Starmer is said to be planning to take his first holiday since the General Election over the New Year.
