Has a ‘Burnham Bounce’ helped Labour in the polls?

• Labour has overtaken Reform UK in the polls for the first time in over a year, now leading with 28 per cent compared to Reform's 24 per cent.
• This surge is attributed to a 'Burnham bounce' following Andy Burnham's first week as prime minister , who replaced Sir Keir Starmer.
• The More in Common poll also indicates a decline in support for the Green Party, with their voters seemingly returning to Labour.
• If a general election were held, the poll suggests Labour would secure a narrow working majority with 325 seats, while the Conservatives would get 124 and Reform 88.
• Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is facing scrutiny over an undeclared £5m donation and associations with a convicted money launderer, alongside contesting a by-election in Clacton.
