Labour hits new high in polls – as Reform UK sinks to record low

Labour has opened a six-point lead in YouGov’s latest voting intention poll, reaching its highest level since tracking restarted in January 2025. Reform UK has fallen to a joint record low, adding to signs that support has shifted away from Nigel Farage’s party in recent months.

Labour stands at 27 per cent, followed by the Conservatives on 21 per cent and Reform UK on 20 per cent; the Liberal Democrats are on 12 per cent and the Greens on 10 per cent. Compared with the month before the Makerfield by-election, YouGov’s monthly average shows Labour up nine points and the Conservatives up four, while Reform is down four. Reform has also faced scrutiny over a £5m donation from Christopher Harborne and competition from Restore Britain, which polled at 3 per cent.
