Read our privacy policy Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives are losing more of their 2019 voters to the right-wing Reform UK party than to Labour, a shock new poll suggests. Only one in 10 voters who backed the Tories at the last general election have switched to Keir Starmer’s party, a new YouGov survey found. Yougov pollster Patrick English, said the latest survey does indeed show some “encouraging numbers” for the Tories in one “crucial” group – the party’s 2019 backers. “And that’s why at the moment we think only around one in 10 of them are telling us that they’re seriously considering voting Labour at the next election.” The latest YouGov survey finds that 42 per cent of 2019 Labour voters think that Sir Keir has badly handled his response to Israel-Hamas conflict Only 26 per cent think the Labour leader has handled it well.
