The poll of polls - suggest?

 The other day the - Poll of Polls was published and they say the following: Reform on 24 per cent. Labour on 24 per cent, Conservatives on 20 per cent, Greens on 12 per cent and the Lib/Dems on 11 per cent. Sir John Curtis, professor of politics at Strathclyde University, suggests that Reform are being squeezed in two ways. To the right by Rupert Lowe and his party Restore is stealing points from Reform, by 3-4 per cent of the right vote. We also have a rejuvenate Conservatives with Kemi Badenoch, doing relatively well, especially when parliament is sitting. In addition with a new prime minister in Andy  Burnham, a far better communicator than the disastrous Starmer, Labour are on the up. The Greens have clearly lost their way and Zac Polanski - appears a bit too naive and gullible. The public have - sussed him out and don’t like him as a result. Consequently there is all to play for and in particular the budget in October. Can the chancellor John Healey - create a sense of purpose and optimism? We shall see.
