Reform UK overtakes Labour for first time in national opinion poll UK politics live
Briefly

Recent polling by YouGov indicates a surprising shift in voter intention, placing Reform UK in first place with 25%, followed closely by Labour at 24%. Though this seems significant, experts caution that the lead falls within the margin of error. Anthony Wells of YouGov emphasizes that while this snapshot indicates a potential rise in Reform UK's popularity, historical context reveals their path to significant political influence remains uncertain, especially given their limited parliamentary representation and the potential volatility of voter support.
In polling, what matters is the trend... the Reform UK lead is well within the margin of error, making it more realistic to see them level pegging with Labour.
The figures may not matter much, but the trend does; this is confirmation that support for Reform UK has been growing significantly since the general election.
