Happy spring statement day one and all. As Rachel Reeves valiantly tries to wrestle the public narrative back from her critics, it seems that there is yet more pain from the Gorton and Denton by-election last week. For a new poll is out for YouGov today – and it shows Zack Polanski making gains at Labour’s expense. The Greens have now leapfrogged Labour into second place, boasting 21 per cent – just two points behind Nigel Farage’s Reform. Talk about enlargement…
The poll for the Times and Sky News found that support for the Green has risen four points in a week with the party now supported by one in five voters. At the same time Labour have recorded their lowest ever polling score – supported by just 16 per cent of voters – down two points on the previous week. The Conservatives are also down two points at 16 per cent which is only the second time the party had recorded such a low poll rating. As for the Liberal Democrats, they are – wait for it – unchanged on 14 per cent. Well, at least there’s one consistency in British politics.
With Keir Starmer now facing flack from both left and right over his stance on Iran, don’t expect that Green surge to recede any time soon…
