The funny thing is, Labour's support isn't all that different from prior elections, it's just that the Conservatives' votes have tanked and bled to the Reform party. Labour is on track to have a smaller share than they did in 2017 and only a few points higher than in 2019.
I imagine we'll see the UK Conservatives move the right to recapture some of the vote, similar what we've seen in Canada in the '00s and recently under Poilievre. Particularly since this edition of the Labour party is pretty indistinguishable from the Conservatives in terms of policy, so they'll need to distinguish themselves somehow.
