The UK Labour Party surged to the biggest poll lead by any political party in more than two decades as Prime Minister Liz Truss failed to reassure voters about her economic strategy, which caused turmoil in the financial markets over the past week.
Labour now has a 33-point lead over the ruling Conservatives, according to a YouGov poll for the Times newspaper published Thursday. YouGov described the lead as the biggest enjoyed by any party with any polling company since at least the late 1990s.
