这位英国首相成功让自己的政党重新获得关注，但赢得公众支持之路仍充满挑战。
周四晚间，在焦点小组讨论中，地理教师尼尔这样评价安迪·伯纳姆：“他提供了其他政客长久以来都未能提供的东西。他真的让人觉得就是我们中的一员。”
The UK prime minister has earned his party a rehearing but the battle of public opinion is not yet won“He’s offering what no other politician has offered for a long, long time. He actually feels like he’s one of us,” was how Neil, a geography teacher, described Andy Burnham in our focus group on Thursday night.
并非只有尼尔一人给予好评：这群原本属于2024年工党支持者的选民——其中部分人在斯塔默执政期间转而支持改革党、保守党或绿党——对伯纳姆的评价之积极程度，甚至堪比鲍里斯·约翰逊在新冠疫苗接种热潮达到顶峰时的受欢迎程度。
Neil wasn’t alone in his praise: this group of Labour 2024 voters – some of whom had drifted to Reform, the Tories and Greens during the Starmer era – provided the most positive reception for a politician since Boris Johnson at the height of his Covid-vaccine bounce.
