A massive three quarters of British people agree the country is “broken” according to a major new poll.
The survey for the i newspaper by pollster JL Partners reveals that “Britain today is broken” is a statement that garners overwhelming support in the country.
A majority voters of every political party, age group, and region agree with the sentiment.
An overall total of 74 percent of British people, when told they “must choose” an answer, agreed with the statement.
While voters of outsider parties were more inclined to agree, the poll found that even those who support the establishment parties think Britain is fucked.

Which of the following comes closest to your view?
Britain today is broken: 74%
Britain today is not broken: 26%
? Labour ‘24 voters: Broken 59% / Not broken 41%
? Tory: 76% / 24%
? Reform: 91% / 9%
? Lib Dem: 66% / 34%
1,006 UK adults, 03/10-06/10
Among leftist Labour Party voters in the 2024 election, 59 percent believe the country is broken. Similarly, 66 percent of Liberal Democrat voters and 76 percent of Conservative voters, despite their parties’ traditional support for the status quo, also view Britain as broken.
While likely for very different reasons to 91 percent of Reform supporters, extreme leftist supporters of the Green Party, 87 percent of them to be precise, also believe the notion to be accurate.
Among young people, a majority of 56 percent see the country as damaged.
The poll’s findings highlight a rare consensus across ideological divides. The widespread perception of a fractured nation, shared across political affiliations, age groups, and regions, serves as a scathing rebuke to Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s leadership.
The fact that even 59 percent of Labour’s own 2024 voters agree Britain is broken highlights a rapid disillusionment, suggesting Starmer’s administration is perceived not as a fresh start but as a continuation of systemic failures, alienating the very base that propelled him to power.
The migrant crisis—characterized by record illegal Channel crossings and strained public services—has fueled public frustration, with many viewing the government’s response as wholly inadequate or mismanaged.
The proposed Digital ID system, touted as a solution to illegal immigration, has instead sparked fierce backlash, perceived as a technocratic overreach that threatens individual liberties.
It represents a further erosion of rights, compounding public discontent with Starmer’s inability to address the root causes of immigration concerns while appearing to prioritize control over personal freedoms.
This pervasive sense of a “broken” Britain is further aggravated by growing concerns over attacks on freedom of speech, which have intensified under Starmer’s government, which faces accusations of authoritarian tendencies through aggressive policing of online dissent and proposed regulations that stifle criticism of policies like immigration handling.
Policies and actions perceived as criminalising certain forms of expression have alienated a broad spectrum of the population.
Against this backdrop, Starmer’s premiership appears increasingly out of touch, failing to bridge the gap between public sentiment and policy outcomes. The Digital ID initiative, rather than restoring trust, has deepened skepticism, casting Starmer’s government as emblematic of a disconnected elite unable to address the nation’s fractured state.
Instead of addressing these concerns, Starmer has gone down the road of attacking his biggest threat, Nigel Farage as “negative,” as if somehow the problems he continually raises are not real or not as bad as he makes out.
During the Labour Party conference recently, Starmer even suggested those who acknowledge that Britain has big problems want the country to fail.
“They all do,” Starmer said, adding “They want to turn this country, this proud, self-reliant country, into a competition of victims. Saying to you, to working people, don’t trust in each other, we can’t fix this, this is not a great country.”
He added, “decline is good for their business. I mean, think about it. When was the last time that you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about Britain’s future? He can’t. He doesn’t like Britain, doesn’t believe in Britain, wants you to doubt it just as much as he does. So he resorts to grievance.”
Thus Starmer is directly targeting those pointing out the country has been decimated by years of government neglect and attacks on British culture, and the very people expressing a desire for change in order to turn it around.

First off, what the indigenous people of the UK have COLLECTIVELY failed to acknowledge due to ongoing brainwashing and often refusal to recognise that they and their cultures, heritages and traditions are earmarked for elimination. This is why unfettered invasion, both illegal and legal, has and still is being foisted upon us amongst other political tactics.
We have to collectively recognise that successive governments have committed Treason, Sedition and Subversion, to name what are the most serious crimes against a peoples and their nations. Other related crimes can very likely also be uncovered too.
As I’ve said time and time again, a new organisation tasked with the objective of arresting leading officials of all parties involved who are still alive whether past or present, should be the clear objective, not debating which party might be the best of a rotten and thoroughly corrupt bunch.
I blame your Tories. They SHOULD have been the rational, reasonable, adults in the room … protecting Britain’s heritage … but instead kowtowed to global warming, multi-CULTi invasion, and ever higher taxation.
Yeah, Britain needs a NEW political Party that has a nutsac.
Yes, unfortunately the UK is F*****ED, due to deliberate uncontrolled immigration. But using the same reasons, so is: Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, United States. If this isn’t fixed, the white world is doomed, as the usual media unmentionables would like to have it..
Well, they and their ancestry can hold themselves responsible for fucking their own country by voting in globalists. Every one of them still looking for a ‘hero’ instead of getting off their holes and uniting. Celebrity traitors is more important.
The American media playbook used over the last decade is being used in the UK so until someone hits back with alternative media nothing will change. GB news had a good start but now shadow bans.
Raheem Kassam if you are reading this you need to start a Bannon style War Room for the UK. You will have no problem getting funding and support.
Farage is good but he’s up against the same forces Trump went through. He cannot separate the UK from the EU without help from the people. Fight Fight Fight.
