This really is incredible.

Even amongst Trade Union members now, Labour are struggling as Reform’s rise continues.

Of course Keir Starmer’s party seems to have awkwardly already somewhat moved on from him - even as Starmer remains as Prime Minister and Labour Leader. For now.

Instead all eyes are on Andy Burnham and his by-election bid.

The assumption being made by many in Labour is that with Burnham in the top job, all would be different.

Indeed The Sun were the latest over the weekend to report on the possibility of a PM Burnham calling a snap General Election.

Yet Labour’s assumption that their party being led by Burnham would automatically sweep Reform away was dealt something of a blow by a new intriguing piece of research.

Instead what we can see is just how entrenched public opinion now is.

And how Labour have lost even formerly loyal supporters who used to form the backbone of their now crumbling base.
