Voters who have deserted Labour since the election are much more likely to vote Green or Lib Dems, than Reform, new YouGov polling finds.
Green and Lib Dem defectors are also much more likely to consider switching back than Reform voters who overwhelmingly say they're committed to Farage's party

Zia Yusuf has published a response to our report on the Reform UK "Britannia card" proposal. It's disappointing: heavy on insults, light on substance, and revealing that Mr Yusuf cites an OBR paper he hasn't read. buff.ly/GUbqAei
