8:44Now PlayingSir Keir Starmer has been Prime Minister for just about 50 days now, half way through his first 100 days.
Britain will get worse before it gets better, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is set to warn in first major speech as premier.
Since its landslide election win, Labour has blamed several problems on the Tories - including on economic policy that Chancellor Rachel Reeves has described as a "black hole".
Sir Keir is expected to develop that line of attack further on Tuesday, saying things are "worse than we ever imagined".
He will say: "In the first few weeks, we discovered a £22 billion black hole in the public finances. And don't let anyone say that this is performative, or playing politics.
"The OBR did not know about this. They wrote a letter saying so. They didn't know - because the last government hid it."
Carol Vorderman uses this opportunity to give Starmer a 'mid-term school report' grading him a five to six out of 10 so far and explains why.
