## Summary

Kemi Badenoch’s approval rating has risen to plus eight, nearing Andy Burnham’s, whose rating is plus 10, according to a More in Common poll. The figures may encourage Conservatives who believe her performances and proposals on tax and welfare are helping the party recover.

Labour remains ahead in voting intention on 29 per cent, with the Conservatives on 23 per cent and Reform UK on 22 per cent. A separate YouGov poll put the parties at 26, 24 and 21 per cent respectively. The figures come amid speculation about an early election, although the Prime Minister has ruled out a vote next year; Burnham has said there will be no election in 2027, having previously pointed to 2029.
