Labour sinks to its lowest poll rating in six years

Sir Keir Starmer has been dealt another blow after Labour's popularity was revealed to have sunk to its lowest level in six years.

A YouGov poll, published while the Prime Minister enjoys a family holiday abroad, showed just 20 per cent of voters would back Labour at a general election.

This was down one percentage point from the previous week and is both the party's worst result since Sir Keir took office, as well as their lowest rating since July 2019.

Reform UK were shown to hold an eight-point lead over Labour in the latest survey, with Nigel Farage's party backed by 28 per cent of voters.

Meanwhile, the Tories were on 17 per cent, one point ahead of the Liberal Democrats on 16 per cent, and the Green Party was supported by 11 per cent of respondents.
