More in Common's UK director Luke Tryl said: "It may seem extremely premature to be looking ahead to the next election just months after the last one, but with such a volatile electorate Labour needs to be thinking not just about how to hold on to its existing coalition, but how to grow that broad but shallow base of support if it is going to have any chance of holding onto power."

Jim Blagden of pollsters More in Common said Reform’s vote split into two camps - disillusioned populists and the radical right.
