- Polling expert Sir John Curtice has warned Prime Minister Andy Burnham against calling an early general election, despite a recent slump in support for Reform UK.
- Sir John stated that Reform UK could still potentially become the largest party in Parliament because its vote is evenly spread geographically across the country.
- A recent YouGov poll places both Labour and Reform UK on 23 per cent of the vote, with the Conservatives trailing closely behind on 20 per cent.
- Reform UK recently received a record £36m donation from cryptocurrency entrepreneur Ben Delo to aid its election campaign amid ongoing scandals.
- Sir John warned that Burnham would be risking the remaining three years of his term for a bad deal if he opted to go to the polls early.
