Hapless Starmer now trails Reform by EIGHT points in latest GB-wide More In Common poll

There's been a lot of focus on the Tories' polling problems recently, mainly due to them slipping to fourth place in the latest GB-wide YouGov poll, but the horror show continues for Labour too.  Both Techne and Opinium showed Labour slumping to new post-election lows at the weekend, and now More In Common show them slipping to 22% - which is their second-lowest since the election.  The outright low with More In Common was 21% a few weeks ago, which at the time stood out like a sore thumb as an outlier, so in practice things may now be as bad for Starmer as they've ever been.

GB-wide voting intentions (More In Common, 16th-19th May 2025):

Reform UK 30% (+2)

Labour 22% (-3)

Conservatives 21% (+1)

Liberal Democrats 14% (-)

Greens 8% (-)

SNP 2% (-)

Plaid Cymru 1% (-)

Reform have also hit 30% for the first time ever in a More In Common poll, and it goes without saying that their 8-point lead is also the highest they've ever had with the firm.

I've seen a bit of chatter in one or two places about the SNP being on 2% of the GB-wide vote (as opposed to the more usual 3%) in four consecutive polls from different firms.  Well, two of those firms are More In Common and Techne, who actually both show the SNP on 2% extremely frequently, so there's a fair chance that this is just a coincidental little run caused by normal margin of error noise.  But time will tell.
