Labour leads by six points as Conservative and Reform support splits
A YouGov poll puts Labour six points ahead, renewing speculation that a general election could take place in May despite the Prime Minister’s denials. The figures suggest the Conservatives and Reform are dividing support on the right, a split that could shape the election result.
Labour is on 27 per cent, the Conservatives on 21 per cent and Reform on 20 per cent. Electoral Calculus estimates the figures could give Labour an overall majority; the Conservatives would remain the opposition, while Reform could win dozens of seats. The article also links election speculation to delayed Budget decisions and notes Brent crude has fallen to about $90 a barrel after Donald Trump said the Iran war was effectively over.
In short
- Labour leads the Conservatives by six points in a new poll.
- The figures renew speculation about a possible May election.
- Brent crude has eased to around $90 a barrel.
