In a surprising twist in the run-up to what could be a pivotal general election year, a new poll has revealed the Conservative Party has overtaken Labour for the first time in several months. The results come at an especially awkward time for Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, just as the political focus sharpens around the upcoming spring statement.
The poll, conducted by More in Common between 22 and 24 March, shows the Tories climbing to 25 percent — up by one point from the previous week. Labour, on the other hand, has seen a one-point dip, bringing them down to 24 percent. While the gap is narrow, the symbolic significance of the shift could carry weight in the coming weeks.
