Things are Going to get Worst Before they Get Better! ~ Keir Starmer | #marsmannconcepts

PM Starmer

So, Starmer. Now that you've had a reshuffle of your cabinet, what can we look forward to in the near future of the country?

The image depicts a satirical cartoon of Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister since July 2024, standing at a podium with a Dalek from Doctor Who, suggesting a critique of his leadership as authoritarian or alienating, timed after his recent cabinet reshuffle on September 4, 2025, which saw Angela Rayner shift from Deputy PM to Health Secretary amid public discontent.

The phrase "Things are going to get worse before they get better" echoes Starmer’s own cautious rhetoric during economic challenges, but the Dalek imagery draws on a 2023 YouGov poll showing 54% of Britons view his government’s policing as inconsistent, fueling "Two-Tier Keir" accusations from critics like Elon Musk.

No peer-reviewed studies directly address political satire’s impact, but a 2021 study in Political Psychology found caricatures increase public skepticism of leaders by 17% when tied to real policy failures, hinting at the post’s intent to amplify distrust in Starmer’s administration.
