A new poll suggests a significant drop in Labour's support and potential losses in upcoming elections.
Labour would lose its majority and nearly 200 of the seats it won in July if an election was held today, according to a new poll. The poll by think tank More in Common found that Labour , which secured a landslide victory in the general election, would lose 87 seats to the Conservatives , 67 to Reform UK, and 26 to the SNP.
Other major Greater Manchester MPs who would lose their seats in the new poll are Jim McMahon in Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton, and Jonathan Reynolds in Stalybridge and Hyde. Jonathan Reynolds is the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, and President of the Board of Trade, while Jim McMahon is the Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government). There are six other seats out of 27 parliamentary constituencies in Greater Manchester that would also be lost by Labour and cross over to Reform. Labour seats that would swing to Reform if an election was held now include: Bolton West, currently held by Phil Brickell, would change from Labour to Conservative. This first major seat-by-seat analysis post-general election is a fresh political setback for Sir Keir Starmer, whose leadership of the country has been marked by turbulence. The MRP polling from More in Common found that Labour, which secured a landslide victory in the general election, would lose 87 seats to the Conservatives, 67 to Reform UK, and 26 to the SNP. The survey data, collected from over 11,000 people for The Sunday Times, indicated a near wipe-out for Sir Keir in regions where his party made significant gains, including the West Country. Here, many newly elected MPs have faced backlash over changes to inheritance tax rules for farmers. The party has also come under fire over gifts for the prime minister and senior cabinet ministers. Earlier this month, ministers received heavy criticism for their decision not to provide compensation to Waspi women. And the poll found that with many of Labour’s gains reversed, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK would emerge as the third-largest parliamentary part
