Labour’s steep decline in polls to around 22% support and crushing losses in the May 2026 local and devolved elections—shedding nearly 1,500 councillors while Reform UK surged—have driven trader expectations that Prime Minister Keir Starmer may call an early general election to reset before the fixed term ends in 2029. Internal party pressure, including leadership speculation, has added volatility, though no immediate crisis has forced dissolution yet. Upcoming by-elections and any autumn policy or economic updates remain key near-term catalysts that could shift the crowd-sourced consensus reflected in current pricing.
