Reform UK Leads in Two Key Mayoral Races Ahead of Election

Multiple recent YouGov polls indicate Reform UK is poised to win two major new mayoral contests in Greater Lincolnshire and Hull & East Yorkshire, with Andrea Jenkyns and Luke Campbell leading their respective races by substantial margins over Conservative and Labour rivals. Jenkyns holds a 15-point lead in Greater Lincolnshire, while Campbell leads by 14 points in Hull and East Yorkshire. The polls suggest significant setbacks for both Labour and the Conservatives, as the Green Party is also projected to narrowly lead Labour in the West of England mayoralty. In Cambridgeshire & Peterborough, the Conservatives are ahead of Reform, while Labour trails further behind. However, Jenkyns' candidacy faces a challenge due to allegations she does not reside in the constituency, raising the possibility of disqualification pending a formal investigation. These trends highlight Reform UK's growing national influence and signal a shift in the traditional dominance of Britain’s largest parties.
