Labour Catches Up to Reform UK in Polls for First Time in Months

Three polling companies — More In Common, YouGov, and Sky News — show Labour now tied with or ahead of Reform UK for the first time since March 2025. Polls ask people who they'd vote for. The shift, called the "Burnham bounce," came after Andy Burnham became prime minister on July 20 and announced help with living costs and youth joblessness. Reform's lead was already shrinking amid bad Farage headlines, so the cause is unclear. A social care plan is expected soon.
