A recent poll among GB News viewers has revealed that Labour's popularity has soared in the past five years.
A survey by JL Partners quizzed current and previous viewers of the channel to gauge their voting intentions.
It revealed 39 per cent of viewers plan to vote Labour at the next General Election, 28 per cent will vote Conservative and 20 per cent will vote Reform.
Labour have seen their vote share amongst GB News viewers increase by 13 points in the past five years, while the Tories’ support has fallen back from 42 per cent.

The poll also reveals that one in four (26 per cent) of GB News viewers who voted Conservative in 2019 have now switched to Reform, as Richard Tice's party continues to build momentum.
The study also indicated Nigel Farage is viewed more positively among GB News viewers than Starmer, Sunak and Boris Johnson.
But even the former UKIP leader was in negative territory overall in a poll which illustrates a negative climate for views of politicians of any ilk.
Based on the intentions of GB News viewers an election would end with a hung parliament and Labour 18 seats short of a majority.

However the Conservatives remain more trusted on tackling illegal migration, reducing inflation and growing the economy.
The poll also revealed improving the NHS was the viewers’ number one priority, but they also care strongly about stopping illegal migration and small boat crossings.
A separate poll of 2,406 GB News members found just five per cent trust the Labour leader, with 94 per cent not trusting him and one per cent unsure.
