In a significant development, Nigel Farage's Reform Party has overtaken the Conservatives in a YouGov survey for The Times for the first time. The poll, conducted for The Times, shows Labour leading with 37% (-1), Reform at 19% (+2), and the Conservatives at 18% (nc). This symbolic crossover moment marks a psychological blow to the Conservative Party, already struggling with dismal morale. The poll also indicates the Liberal Democrats at 14% (-1), the Green Party at 7% (-1), the SNP at 3% (+1), Plaid Cymru at 1% (nc), and other parties at 2% (+1). This shift in support comes after recent efforts by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to bolster the Conservative campaign, which appear to have had limited impact.
