Are the opinion polls moving towards Labour?

 We are only 2 weeks into the new premiership of Andy Burnham and the most recent opinion polls - suggest a slight positive outcome towards Labour. On the State of It Podcast for The Times, they told us that Labour was on 22 per cent, Reform on 22 per cent and the Conservatives on 21 per cent. This of course a relatively small sample of public opinion, but nevertheless - could it indicate a Burnham bounce? Keir Starmer, was toxic to the British public and had a negative impact on the country. There is clearly a - sea change going on from the - transformative power of his communication and leadership. If this was continue over time, then parties like Reform and the Greens, will feel bereft. The recent revelations about the funding of the Reform Party has clearly had a detrimental effect. In addition the Green Party has lost some of its credibility and has made a number of missteps. In addition the prime minister announced a discussion group to consider long term - Social Care and they were not invited. The Conservatives and the Liberal Democratic Party were. Much to the chagrin of Reform and Greens. Perhaps slowly things are moving in the right direction for Labour?
