WATCH NOW: Michael Crick says that Keir Starmer 'lacks political instinct'

Sir Keir Starmer's Labour government could become one of the "most unpopular" in the "quickest amount of time" out of all previous governments, it has been claimed.
The Prime Minister suffered a fresh blow as he approaches his first 100 days in power as his chief of staff Sue Gray quit, following a row over pay.
Gray, who was best known for leading the investigation into the Partygate scandal, claimed her position "risked becoming a distraction" for Starmer, but declared it had been an honour to "play a part in the delivery" of a Labour government.
Discussing the Prime Minister's time in office so far on GB News, political commentator Suzanne Evans claimed his tenure so far has been a "complete disaster", with "no honeymoon period" for the party.

Evans said: "It's been pretty dire, hasn't it? I can't remember in my lifetime a government that was so unpopular so quickly.
"They've not had any honeymoon period at all, and actually it's not even 100 days yet. Complete disaster."
Noting the few policies she believes Starmer's cabinet have "got right" in their first few months, Evans admitted she was "racking her brain" to find something she agreed with the government on.
Evans explained: "I've been racking my brain thinking, is there anything I agree with that they've actually done? And there is one thing, and that's Rachel Reeves talking about cutting the foreign aid budget. But of course, Lammy is pushing back on that.

"It's policies to please their hardline socialist supporters. Very few of those Labour people who voted, though, are actually that hardline. And I think they're devastated and shocked."
When asked for his verdict on the Labour government by host Mark Dolan, broadcaster Michael Crick claimed that Starmer has "no political instinct", which is why he is making "silly errors" so soon into his premiership.
Crick said: "This government lacks political judgment. Starmer is new to politics, actually, he's only been an MP for nine or 10 years.
"He didn't do any politics before, so he hasn't got political instinct. That's why he makes silly errors."

Turning the discussion to Sue Gray's resignation, Crick admitted that he is "thankful" she has gone, as she "should have been advising him" in the first place.
Crick added: "Sue Gray, thankfully now gone, should have been advising him. She was, after all, propriety advisor in the Cabinet Office and ethics adviser.
"She should have said it looks really dreadful to take £16,000 worth of suits. You're fresh from investigating Partygate and so many of the other things.
"They've just got there and what they now need is people in Downing Street who understand how policies are going to go down with the general public."
