NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
All three outlets agree that Labour has overtaken Reform UK in polls for the first time in over a year. However, the tone and emphasis of the coverage differ.

The framing also varies, with Guido Fawkes specifying the time frame as 18 months and the Guardian Politics providing a specific date, March 2025.
