Reform is stuck in third place for a second week while Labour's 'Burnham bounce' opens a four-point lead

Nigel Farage's party rose one point to 22 per cent but still trails Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives, who held steady on 23, in a YouGov survey of 2,520 adults. Reform has shed more than 10 points in a year after topping the polls from March 2025 to August. Only 7 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds now back the party. Farage is set to rally supporters in Plymouth.
The standards commissioner is investigating a £5m gift to Farage from Christopher Harborne.
Westminster is braced for Burnham to call a snap election as soon as December.
Farage has warned there is 'every chance' of a 2027 election and Reform 'must be ready'.
