Just looking across our polling since Burnham became PM and young people are really interesting. Labour have pulled into a comfortable lead with 18-24 men, but despite the Greens dropping back overall they still have a more than 20pt lead with 18-24 women.

[David Davis MP @DavidDavisMP]

Lord Lisvane is absolutely right: a lack of experience in the Commons has resulted in a lack of legislative scrutiny before Bills reach the Lords.

However, there is also another aspect to this. Governments routinely use programme motions to force legislation through without proper debate.

The result is the Lords are now left doing the heavy lifting to fix half-baked Bills.

New UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s Labour party currently commands about a 25% share of votes in public opinion polls, overtaking Reform UK, now on 24%, for the first time since April 2025, according to the FT’s poll tracker. https://t.co/puSUrz8tHn

[Steve Akehurst @SteveAkehurst]

Update on where Labour's vote increase is coming from: still almost all from clawing back voters from Greens, Lib Dems and Plaid/SNP.

In addition, Burnham now taking 10% of Green 2024 vote - double the share from June.

[Luke Tryl @LukeTryl]

That Reform did so badly on right wing transfers in Trafford where the Tories did best highlights a particular type of right wing voter - essentially economic liberals - who don’t like Reform, and make up a sizeable chunk of the remaining Tory base.
