Poll shows Labour would lead Reform UK under Andy Burnham, but analysts warn 'bounce' is fragile

Summary
Exclusive polling for The i Paper shows that Labour, if led by Andy Burnham instead of Sir Keir Starmer (who resigned on Monday), would leapfrog Reform UK in the polls. The data reveals a 'Burnham bounce' with the former Greater Manchester Mayor outperforming Reform leader Nigel Farage on several personal value metrics. However, pollsters caution the lead is 'wafer thin' and that both parties would still fall more than 100 seats short of a majority if replicated in a general election. Such polling boosts 'rarely survive contact with the daily grind of leading,' according to analysts.
