The Labour Party has extended its lead over the Conservatives, according to the first exclusive YouGov poll of the campaign for Sky News. One week into the race for Number 10, Labour is 27 points ahead of the Tories - erasing a small drop in the lead recorded at the end of last week. The Great Britain poll - which was conducted on Monday and Tuesday this week and surveyed 2,128 adults - puts Labour on 47%, the Tories on 20%, Reform on 12%, the Liberal Democrats on 9% and the Greens on 7%.
Meanwhile, Labour leads the Tories in all parts of Great Britain and among men and women. The only groups that have the Tories ahead are the over 65s - albeit by a far smaller margin than in 2019 - and among people who voted to leave the EU. Mr Sunak called the general election last Wednesday after official figures showed inflation fell to 2.3% in April, which he said is 'proof that the plan and priorities I set out are working'.
