British politics is being reshaped by the rise of Reform UK, with a new projection suggesting the party could win a parliamentary majority if an election were held now.
The poll
An MRP poll conducted by More in Common projected Reform UK winning 381 seats, a majority of 112, while Labour would fall to just 85 seats and the Conservatives to 70. Reform UK led the poll trend with 26.8% support, marking a dramatic shift in the established two-party landscape.
Starmer digs in
Labour leader and Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would not step down after a difficult night for his party in recent local and devolved elections. The results have intensified debate over Labour's direction and the outlook for the next general election.
Analysts caution that projections this far from an election can shift, but the trend has rattled Westminster.
