The Green Party is set to unseat three Labour MPs and quadruple its presence in Parliament in the next election, a poll has suggested. Zack Polanski’s party would win 21 seats, up from four in the 2024 election, while a huge majority of seats would go to Reform UK as Labour takes catastrophic losses.

While previous polls suggested a landslide win for Reform, the accelerating support for the Greens may come as a greater surprise to Labour, according to the survey for The Sunday Times, conducted by More in Common. The poll of more than 15,000 Brits suggested Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer would keep his Holborn and St Pancras seat, but three of his senior politicians would be lost to the Greens.

This included Labour’s Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the Treasury, Peter Kyle, the Business Secretary, and Hilary Benn, the Northern Ireland Secretary, who were all set to lose their seats to Mr Polanski’s party.

The poll found that a dozen of his senior cabinet would be wiped out by Nigel Farage’s party, including Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, and Defence Secretary John Healey.

Wes Streeting, the Health Secretary, and Angela Rayner, the former Deputy Prime Minister, were also expected to lose their seats.

In total, it predicted the Greens would win 21 seats, up from just four in the last election, meaning their numbers would more than quadruple.

Reform would get 324 seats, which falls short of a majority and signalled a slight dip in support from the previous major poll in January, gaining 57 fewer seats.

Meanwhile, Labour looked set to win 101 seats, which reflects a major loss of 310 MPs. The Conservative Party was also predicted to take a hit, losing 40 seats and holding just 81.

The poll signals a tense time for Labour as it prepares for the upcoming local elections on May 7, when millions of people in England, Scotland, and Wales will elect over 5,000 politicians.
