Labour’s poll lead has plummeted since the general election, according to a new poll, which sets out the political impact of Sir Keir Starmer’s first two months in office.

Since coming to power, Labour has announced swinging cuts to infrastructure project, slashed winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners, handed above-inflation pay rises to their union paymasters and cut housing targets in London.

Despite being outwardly cocky about his election win, however, a new poll by More In Common deals a hammer blow to Sir Keir Starmer today.

It reveals that since July, Labour’s popularity has sunk by six points, to just 29%.

This means that even in the midst of a leadership election, the Tories are now just four points behind the Sir Keir Starmer.

While the Tories remain static on 25% since the election, other smaller parties are the main beneficiaries of Labour’s misfortune.

Reform UK is up 3 points to a whopping 18%, with the party’s chairman Zia Yusuf observing: “Reform is winning support from Labour at great speed.”

“This is just *2 months* post an election they won.

“Imagine what a few years will do. No wonder Starmer is petrified.”

The Liberal Democrats are up 2 points to 14%, while the Greens have increased the same amount to 8%.

The SNP remain static on just 3% of the vote following their near-wipeout at the election.

The poll was conducted from September 10 to 12, meaning those asked for their voting intention will have been able to take into account this week’s vote by Labour MPs in favour of slashing Winter Fuel Payments.

Reacting to the shock poll, Tory commentator Andrew Lilico said that while polls don’t matter at the moment, “it’s pretty remarkable to have won a majority of over 170 so recently yet already be polling under 30% & with a lead of only 4%.”

Former Tory advisor Iain Mansfield added: “Truly startling to see no party with over 30% vote share.”
