This was based on Ipsos polling which had found 13% of voters in September said they were satisfied with Sir Keir. Earlier this month, Ipsos reported Sir Keir’s satisfaction rating had improved slightly in January, and was at 15%, though a 77% dissatisfaction rating meant overall Sir Keir’s net satisfaction score was -62. Last month Opinium put Sir Keir’s net approval at -46, which it said was his “joint lowest score ever”—this matches Theresa May in May 2019. Many posts we’ve seen sharing the claim that 75% of England’s mayors are Muslim include an image of 18 people, apparently suggesting these are examples of current Muslim mayors. When Full Fact put the image into Google’s reverse image search, it was flagged as “made with Google AI”.
