## Key points

- Conservatives rise to 24 per cent in YouGov poll.
- Labour leads on 26 per cent; Reform trails on 21 per cent.
- A repeat result could leave a hung Parliament.

## Summary

A YouGov poll puts the Conservatives on 24 per cent, two points higher than a week earlier and their strongest showing since the general election. Labour is on 26 per cent and Reform on 21 per cent, suggesting the Conservatives may be regaining ground as Labour’s closest rival.

The figures could encourage Kemi Badenoch’s party, whose strategists hope stronger performances and pledges on tax and welfare will help it overtake Reform. If the result were repeated at a general election, it would likely produce a hung Parliament, with Labour potentially relying on the Liberal Democrats to govern. The poll comes amid speculation about an early election, although Andy Burnham has said there will be no election in 2027.
