SUPPORT for Labour has plunged to new depths according to a new Westminster poll.
The More in Common survey also indicates that more than half in the UK now support either the Tories or Reform UK with less than a month to go until local elections in England.
It was carried out after last week’s Spring Statement, where Rachel Reeves announced a swathe of cuts to welfare.
The poll puts the Conservatives in first place on 26%, with Reform on 25% and Labour on 21%, which is its lowest figure ever with More in Common.
The Lib Dems are on 13% and the Greens on 7%, meanwhile.
The UK Government earlier this month announced a tightening of eligibility for the main disability benefit personal independence payment (Pip) and changes to the health element of Universal Credit.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves used her Spring Statement last week to also confirm that Universal Credit health benefits for new claimants will be halved in 2026 and then frozen until 2030.
The move has led to much concern from charities, including some reporting a surge in calls and visits to their advice pages.
Mental health charity Mind said its helpline advisers had reported that some people had indicated their level of worry was such that they felt they had “no choice but to end their own life”.
Disability charity Scope said people feel “abandoned by the Government”.
Meanwhile, a group of public health experts said further cuts to social security could lead to deaths.
