Labour polling slumps while Reform surges
Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers his keynote speech during the Labour Party Conference, at the ACC Liverpool, September 24, 2024

LABOUR is facing a dramatic poll slump as its faltering start in government hits the party’s popularity.

A survey by More in Common found Labour on 29 per cent support, down 5 per cent from its already anaemic general election result.
