Is UK's two-horse race back? Burnham and Badenoch climb up in polls
- Polling Boosts: Labour under Andy Burnham leads at 29%, Conservatives under Kemi Badenoch rise to 20%, while Reform UK and Greens show slowing momentum.
- Conference Impact: Both leaders received positive reactions for their speeches; Badenoch highlighted inheritance tax cuts, Burnham pledged to break from the past 40 years of policy.
- Green Party Challenges: Internal tensions and recent by-election losses under Zack Polanski have weakened Green support, benefiting Labour’s recovery among younger voters.
Amid mounting Westminster speculation about a snap general election, well-received party conference speeches by the Prime Minister Burnham and Conservative leader Badenoch appear to have helped both leaders consolidate support, while momentum for Reform UK and the Green Party shows signs of slowing.

The trouble for Kemi is that people will continue to ask "But what did you buggers do in government?"
The trouble for St Andy is that he's a chump but then most people are chumps and may be quite ready to vote for one.
It's a trap!
Regarding the Nigerian woman.
I would ask " why the hell would an Englishman vote for you to be PM?"
dearieme - yes, that's Kemi's problem among Conservative voters and they may also ask why her MPs should turn out to be any better than the last lot.
DJ - but spotted just in time!
Anon - many won't, they will want deeper roots.
Come to that why vote for the Irish Burnham?
Or, historically, why vote for the Sephardic Jew Disraeli or the Liverpool Scotchman Gladstone, or the half-American Churchill?
dearieme - or the Dalek Starmer?
Of course! His father was a toolmaker.
