Polls are not reliable.

Selectively taking one only to make some point is never a wise move.

There's 2 other polls out around the same time as that one.

One has Labour and Conservatives each on 26% with Reform on 19%

Another has Labour on 27%, the Conservatives on 25% and Reform on 22%

They're easy to see by just entering as a search 'latest UK opinion polls'.
So the whole picture of the opinion polling world is seen, not a tiny snapshot of only one.

The polls reflect certainly the dismay and disillusionment in politics.
They tell us little of where all will be in July/August 2029.

Remember Farage proclaiming in an election debate that Reform had now gone ahead of the Conservatives in the polls.
Yet on election day, Reform were 10% behind the Conservatives.
The Conservatives on 24% and Reform on 14%

Reliance on opinion polls is not a recommendation I'd make, and certainly NEVER on only one single poll.
