Minority government probabilities assume possible alliances between the Conservative and Reform parties, and between Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP and Plaid Cymru.

Commentary for end-July 2026

Posted 30 July 2026

A definite 'Burnham bounce' can be seen in the polling numbers this month. Labour have overturned Reform's lead, which was 6pc last month, to edge just a fraction ahead. When translated into seats, this puts Labour ahead of the Conservative by over 100 seats, and pushes Reform into third place.

Labour would be short of an overall majority, but is close to having a workable coalition with the Liberal Democrats and the Greens.

These figures include adjustment for tactical voting, as described here.

Also, Richard Rose this month says that Burnham Bowls a Googly to Reform UK.
