Yet he's still less popular than Jeremy Corbyn in 2017.
With respect, that's not really true. When talking about Corbyn vs Starmer, a personal comparison, the stats are really clear:
What I think you COULD say is that Starmer's Labour at its least popular (35%) is less popular than Corbyn's Labour at its most popular (44%):
That'd be true. But it'd also be cherry picking. I could pull the same move and say just as truthfully that Starmer's Labour's worst result (35%) is still 13 points clear of Corbyn's worst (22%). But then I'd be cherry picking to make my point. Neither point of view is really fair or well rounded, its just stat-torturing.

It's a dire situation he really needs to turn around. He won't win the manufactured "culture war" and shouldn't even try.
He needs to do something though, perhaps on education where the Tories have been absolutely shambolic for the last two years and where the latest big idea is to take away phones because Williamson has decided based on absolutely nothing that behaviour is probably bad, and that creating a furore around phones might distract people from the exam shambles and his ideas about making teachers in a demoralised profession where 1/3 want to leave work longer hours with shorter holidays.
