“Does he ever do any work in his own country?”That’s the question from one GB News viewer when I tweeted about the Prime Minister’s trip to Norway and Estonia this lunchtime.This whirlwind visit is, his team assure me, his LAST foreign trip this year.And they insist his travels are to bring “money and jobs” back to the UK.Sir Keir Starmer with journalists, including Katherine Forster, on his journey to Washington DC earlier this yearGETTYThe Prime MInister’s been on so many international trips since his election victory just five months ago that even his own team seem to have lost count.Let’s have a quick recap: He’s been to Paris three times, Berlin three times, the States three times, right round the globe for the Commonwealth heads of government meeting on the Pacific island of Samoa … take a breath … Rio for the G20, Budapest, Brussels and Dublin.And to Azerbaijan for the COP29 climate change summit.Last week, he visited the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Cyprus.Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer (left) meets Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stor in Bergen, Norway, during a trip to Norway and EstoniaPAAnd now Norway and Estonia.But today in Norway one of his closest advisers told me it’s all about “investment” and “jobs”. They said the trips bring tangible benefits in terms of deals, agreements and investments with other countries.Given that the Government’s central mission is “growth”, and so far there’s precious little sign of it, there is certainly a logic here.Prime Minister Keir Starmer gestures as he speaks during the JEF Leaders Summit in TallinnPAThey stress today’s announcement of a Green Industrial Partnership with Norway, is linked to direct investment and jobs in Britain.Concrete examples they cite include Norwergian energy company Equinor’s investment in the UK’s first Carbon Capture and Storage plant in Teeside, bringing £4billion and thousands of jobs.Or £77million for Statkraft, grid stability project in Swansea. Or the Green Volt floating windfarm in Scotland, which is to bring almost three thousand jobs.People around Starmer say he’s not interested in swanning around looking grand. That he’s travelling simply to work hard for Britain.Farmers protests have come as the Prime Minister’s popularity plummetsPA“He’d much rather be at home and see his children”, they tell me.That may well be the case but there is a perception amongst many that the PM is simply away far too much. And some suspect he’s developed a taste for this jet-setting lifestyle.His poll ratings have plumbed new lows today. The Ipsos poll puts his ‘net satisfaction’ rating at -34, the lowest for any PM at this stage in office.Despite his insane schedule on this trip (and the crazy demands on any PM), the work he’s doing is so far not impressing most of the British public.He has four and a half years to make Brits feel better off and improve public services.Time to turn things around. Perhaps. Let’s see if he spends more time at home in 2025.
