The latest opinion polls news, headlines and analysis from The NE Times.
A historic election win curdled into open revolt as the local election rout, the rise of Reform UK and slumping approval ratings combined to end the Prime Minister's tenure.
With Reform UK leading the polls, Nigel Farage claimed to have 'deposed' Sir Keir Starmer and declared he is not frightened of Andy Burnham or any Labour successor.
With Sir Keir Starmer gone, the latest voting-intention figures put Nigel Farage's Reform UK on 27%, almost ten points clear of a Labour Party that has shed roughly a third of its 2024 support.
An Opinium survey put Nigel Farage's party on 29 per cent, well ahead of Labour and the Conservatives, underlining the fragmentation of British politics.
