We must mix with the herd

Tories pull five points ahead of Reform

The Conservatives have pulled five points ahead of Reform UK in an opinion poll as the battle for the Right intensifies.

A poll of 2,013 people by More in Common has Kemi Badenoch’s party on 25 per cent – up two percentage points on the previous week – and Reform on 20 per cent, down two.

On Monday, the Tories also overtook Reform in The Telegraph’s poll tracker, which aggregates approved opinion polls, for the first time in almost two years.


Yes! we must mix with the herd; we must enter into their feelings; we must humour their weaknesses; we must sympathise with the sorrows that we do not feel; and share the merriment of fools.

Benjamin Disraeli – Vivian Grey (1826)
