Labour poll share slumps to lowest since 2019

Another day, another bad poll for Sir Keir Starmer’s party. Now YouGov has revealed that Labour has recorded its lowest poll rating since before the 2019 general election, with just over a fifth of Brits saying they would vote for the reds tomorrow, while Nigel Farage’s Reform UK sees its largest lead to date on the party of government. How very interesting…

The latest data from the polling giant, collected between 26-27 May, shows that a little under a third of British adults would back Farage’s crowd if there was a national poll tomorrow – a figure that remains consistent on the week before. Meanwhile Starmer’s army has dropped a point to 21 per cent, only just ahead of Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue, who have jumped three points from last week to 19 per cent. Support for the Lib Dems has fallen slightly to 15 per cent while the Greens are on 11 and the SNP remain backed by 2 per cent of UK adults.
