🔴 Labour Struggles: New Poll Shows Support Plummeting! 🚨
Labour is facing a dire situation as the latest YouGov poll reveals its lowest-ever rating, with only 17% of voters ready to back the party in a hypothetical general election today. This comes on the heels of a dismal performance in the Caerphilly Senedd by-election, where Labour placed a distant third behind Plaid Cymru and Reform. 😬
The by-election results and polling indicate that Labour’s support is rapidly declining, with Plaid Cymru sweeping up nearly half of the votes and Reform gaining ground as well. Reform’s numbers are surging, taking a significant lead in the polls with 27%, while the Greens are also on the rise, climbing to their highest-ever figures with 16%, just a whisker behind Labour. 🌿
Interestingly, Labour and the Conservatives find themselves neck and neck at 17% each. This consistency with the Conservative vote contrasts sharply with Labour’s three-point drop in recent weeks. Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his disappointment over Labour’s performance, particularly in Caerphilly, which marks their first defeat there in over a century with only 11% of the vote. 😲
Rhun ap Iorwerth, Plaid Cymru’s leader, described the election as a “reset for Welsh politics,” positing that the upcoming Senedd elections in May 2026 could be a battle between Plaid Cymru and Reform. The new Caerphilly Senedd member, Lindsay Whittle, has starkly stated that Labour is “dead” in Wales. 🗳️
Given these developments, the future looks challenging for Labour as they seek to regroup and regain lost ground. Can they bounce back, or are we seeing a major political shift on the horizon? 🤔 Stay tuned!
