It's yet more bad news for Reform UK today, as the party suffers another blow in the polls.
It seems that weeks of infighting (which they continue to relentlessly deny) and a by-election circus has done them no favours with the public.
The party has sunk to its lowest polling rating in over 18 months, with new voting intention poll putting them at 23 per cent – four points behind Andy Burnham’s Labour.
After topping the polls consistently for over a year, their recent slump may be difficult for Nigel Farage to handle.
If this Burnham 'bounce' continues for much longer, it could be curtains for the Clacton MP's prime ministerial ambitions.

‘This country struggles to build anything’: Readers clash over Andy Burnham’s £10bn housing plan
|
Our community weigh in on the prime minister’s £10bn plan to build 70,000 new homes, with many questioning whether the scale of the pledge matches the scale of Britain’s housing crisis.
Here’s what you had to say:
|

The plan to allocate funding to councils to build 70,000 new homes is a positive start, although many more will be needed given the shortage of affordable places to live. It’s important for everyone to have a safe, comfortable home – homelessness is never acceptable.
On every occasion when new houses and apartments have been built in my area of Suffolk, promises to add social housing into the mix have been broken, much to my disappointment. This has been happening at intervals over the past 24 years. I really welcome this change in policy and look forward to seeing these buildings completed as soon as possible!

If the build speed is like a site near us it will be 2050 by the time they build them. Four years to build 72 houses, with numerous issues created for the users of the A road it was built along.

The Conservative leader is expected to reshuffle her shadow cabinet soon, bringing in new faces, which might help distance the party from the disastrous record of the 2020-24 government.
But I argue that Kemi Badenoch has to copy the New Labour leader’s trick of spreading his stardust over an old and discredited political brand by presenting the Tories as “almost literally a new party”.
