Labour overtakes Reform in voter poll for first time since March 2025

Labour has edged ahead of Reform in a significant voter intention poll, marking the first time the party has held the lead since March 2025. The latest tracker, conducted by the non-profit agency More in Common, shows Labour gaining four points to reach 28% support. Conversely, Reform has seen its support dip to 24%.

This shift in voter preference comes after a period of considerable negative press for Reform UK and its leader, Nigel Farage. Recent headlines have focused on issues such as undeclared gifts and donations, an adviser with a conviction for fraud, and a by-election campaign that has been widely described as chaotic.

Meanwhile, Labour appears to be benefiting from the momentum generated during Prime Minister Andy Burnham's first week in office. His focus on the cost of living crisis seems to be resonating with voters, contributing to the party's improved standing in the polls. The poll suggests a potential realignment of voter sentiment as the political landscape continues to evolve.
