Many British politicians showed their disappointment in Boris Johnson after he is allegedly not showing enough concern about the current situation in the country. A great part of that comes from Johnson’s health state that he is said to be still recovering from. Whether you are his supporter or not, UK political betting markets had undergone quite some changes recently, and here is what we have right now.

According to British top online bookmakers, there is a growing interest in who will become the new Prime Minister amid Johnson’s «unsustainable» approach towards political matters. One of the leading online betting operators 888sport is currently offering arguably the best prices for the matter.

After Keir Starmer issued his public statement where he criticised the government, his odds have been drastically slashed, making him a hot favourite to take over at Downing Street. Starmer saw his Prime Minister odds dropping from quite long 4.00 (3/1) to as short as 2.50 (6/4) since March 27. For those who are looking for even more value, bookmaker Betfred is offering a slightly better price for Starmer, pricing him at 2.75 (7/4). There is another decent candidate for the Prime Minister job - Chancellor Rushi Sunak, however, he is only 4.75 (15/4).

Despite gathering so much attention around his persona and attracting an amazing 81% of all the best within this last week, Keir Starmer might have to wait a couple of more years before getting in charge of the government. Why? Oddsmakers from 888sport suggest that Boris Johnson will rather not leave Prime Minister post before at least 2023. The bookmaker highly doubts Johnson’s sacking in 2021 and 2022, however, is a bit less doubtful about BoJo stepping out this year.

What do you think about it? Should Boris Johnson worry about losing his job? Stay tuned for an update.
