Support for Labour has dipped to a new low in more bad news for the reds. Data released today reveals that support for Sir Keir Starmer’s party has dropped to the lowest level yet in a More in Common survey, with Westminster voting intention for Starmer’s army at just 21 per cent – leaving the party of government in third place behind both Reform and the Conservatives. Oh dear…

The polling, carried out between 28-31 March, shows Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue soaring to first place, with 26 per cent, while a quarter of participants have thrown their weight behind Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Further research between 22-24 March by More in Common shows that almost two-thirds of Brits rank the cost of living crisis as the most important issue facing the UK. A quarter and a fifth respectively say dealing with immigration levels and small boats are top priorities – with the latter increasingly concerning Britons.
