Burnham's popularity rises, posing threat to Green Party support

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is experiencing a period of increased public confidence, which a recent poll suggests is impacting support for the Green Party more than Reform UK.

  • A More in Common poll this week shows Labour leading for the first time since March, with the "Burnham bounce" primarily affecting Green Party support.
  • Green leader Zack Polanski was cleared by police on Wednesday over reposting a picture with a guillotine image, which he stated was an accidental upload.
  • In early May, 22% of Britons preferred Polanski as Prime Minister over Keir Starmer, but this has now fallen to 9% preferring him over Burnham.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham is currently enjoying a period of increased public confidence, with a recent More in Common poll indicating that Labour is back in the lead for the first time since last March. This "Burnham bounce" appears to be impacting the Green Party more significantly than Reform UK.

The Green leader, Zack Polanski, was recently cleared by police on Wednesday regarding a reposted image of a man in a T-shirt featuring a guillotine. Polanski stated he uploaded the image without proper review and deleted it upon realising its content.

Public opinion regarding Polanski's leadership has shifted. In early May, 22% of Britons considered Polanski a better prime minister than Keir Starmer, according to YouGov. However, this figure has now decreased to 9% who prefer him over Burnham.
