Labour is reaping the benefits of ousting Sir Keir Starmer as leader as fresh polling shows further evidence of an “Andy Burnham bounce”, with the party now five points clear of Reform UK.
In a poll conducted by BMG Research exclusively for The i Paper, Labour has overtaken Nigel Farage’s party. The survey found that 28 per cent of respondents said they would vote for Burnham’s party, compared with 23 per cent who backed Reform.
The Conservatives are in third, according to the polling, with 20 per cent, followed by the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party, which are both on 10 per cent.
Shorts
If repeated at a general election, the results would make Labour comfortably the biggest party but still just shy of an overall majority and well short of the landslide they secured in 2024.
