**BREAKING –** [Labour](https://www.europeans.today/tag/labour-party/) remains in the lead with **26%** in the latest Westminster voting intention poll, but Reform UK is closing in fast at **25%**, according to new data from YouGov. The [Conservatives](https://www.europeans.today/tag/conservatives/) trail behind at **21%**, marking a significant shift in the political landscape just months ahead of a potential general election.

The data, collected through YouGov’s MRP model, suggests a steady rise in support for [Reform UK](https://www.europeans.today/tag/reform-uk/), which has overtaken the Tories in recent weeks. The Liberal Democrats stand at **14%**, while the Greens hold **9%**.
  
  
This polling underscores a turbulent political climate, with Reform UK capitalising on growing discontent among right-leaning voters. The Conservatives, traditionally the main right-wing party, are struggling to regain lost ground even with [Kemi Badenoch](https://www.europeans.today/tag/kemi-badenoch/) as their leader.
