Labour facing electoral wipeout after mega-poll predicts loss of over 200 seats

Almost half a year after the General Election, Labour’s honeymood period hasn’t lasted long. A new mega poll predicts they would face a wipeout in seats they recently gained if the poll were rerun today, despite securing a landslide on July 4. The party would be predicted to lose some 200 seats, falling short of a majority, which would result in a hung parliament.
Analysis published in the Sunday Times will not make cheerful breakfast reading for Keir Starmer, as it sugests even Angela Rayner and Yvette Cooper would be beaten by upstart party Reform. Although Labour would still just pip the Tories to the post with the most seats, it would have barely a third of the total available which would not be enough to govern.
This is a result which some are envisaging with relish, with a petition for a new election recently going viral with over three million signatures. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video.
Up Next. This weekend’s poll said Labour would lose 87 seats to the Tories, 67 to Reform, and 26 to the Scottish National Party. Tory leader Kemi Badenoch will not be celebrating either, as the main winner is Nigel Farage and his party Reform, which has been backed by billionaire Elon Musk.
Reform would win 72 seats, it predicted, compared to the five it holds today. In 2024’s election, the renamed Brexit Party won 14.3% of the vote share, but the implied vote share would increase to 21%, snapping at the heels of Labour and the Tories which were put at 25% and 26% respectively.
