Labour has slipped to fourth place in a poll on who people will vote for amid growing pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer ahead of the upcoming local elections.
YouGov research has still Reform ahead on national voting intention on 24%, with the Conservatives second on 19%.
And the latest poll has the Greens gaining two points on Labour, in third place on 18% ahead of Labour on 17%. The Liberal Democrats are fifth on 13%.
Labour is expected to lose a number of seats on May 7, with Reform and the Green Party expected to make sizeable gains.
There are around 5,000 council seats up for grabs across England, as well as elections to the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Senedd.

Nice to see Reform on top, but meaningless as long as 67% plus of the population STILL thinks that the ‘mainstream’ parties are preferable.
They’re doomed.
Interesting.
The UK general elections are a long way off (2029). It’s unlikely that Reform will win enough seats to then govern on its own.
Maybe a coalition of Reform + Tories would work. But would the Tories accept all of Reform’s platform? Because if not, as you said the UK is doomed.
Sadly, if the UK doesn’t have a full on civil war, they are finished. We Yanks aren’t too far behind, but we DO have guns...without which things get a bit more sticky.
The problem with having several parties... The leftist typically win.
43% of the electorate is Conservative and Reform... Leaving 48% of the electorate on loony left and another 9% on the excessively loony left... The Official Monster Raving Loony Party (OMRLP) for instance is one of the 393 political parties in the UK.
Anything we can do to help the guy move on, into an exciting and new position, should be considered.
I hear there are openings at the UN.
“Maybe a coalition of Reform + Tories would work.”
Trying to stretch that to an American analogy. Suppose the tea party won 24% of the vote, the establishment R’s 19, and various leftist partis split the rest.
I think the establishment R’s would be far more likely to coalition with the rightmost leftist party than with the Tea Party.
