Nigel Farage's return as leader has propelled Reform UK to within two points of the Conservatives in the latest YouGov/Sky News poll. The poll, conducted online between June 3 and June 4 with 2,144 adults, shows Labour leading with 40%, Conservatives at 19%, and Reform UK at 17%. The Liberal Democrats and Greens trail with 10% and 7%, respectively. This surge follows a recent methodology change by YouGov, which has narrowed Labour's lead to 21 points. Analysts attribute the rise of Reform UK to Farage's influence and the bombshell announcement.
