Britain’s ruling Labour Party would lose nearly 200 seats if elections were held today as the populist Reform UK Party surges, according to a Sunday Times poll.
Analysis conducted by the More in Common think tank showed Labour would cede the majority it won in July’s elections, when it amassed 411 seats. Labour would lose 87 seats to the Conservative Party and 67 to Nigel Farage’s Reform. The Scottish National Party would pick up 26 seats, the newspaper said on Sunday.
