It's only been a few days since the UK election, but the seismic shift in the political establishment is gaining pace.



Labour has reportedly gained 150,000 new members after Jeremy Corbyn’s party made historic gains in the general election.

Membership soared following Friday’s result, according to Labour MP Richard Burgon, which saw Theresa May’s Conservatives fail to win an outright Commons majority.

To put this into perspective, total Conservative Party membership was 150,000 just six months ago.

That isn't the only change in the past couple days. Popular opinion of Labour has shifted dramatically as well.



Mr Corbyn’s party is now polling at 45 per cent, six points ahead of the Tories who are lagging behind on 39 per cent.

The Survation poll, conducted for the Mail on Sunday, shows a swing of eight points in Labour’s favour since the general election on 8 June.

Popular opinion of Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has shifted dramatically too.



Jeremy Corbyn has drawn level with Theresa May in a poll asking who would be the best Prime Minister.

Both party leaders scored 39 per cent after a swing of 11 points in Mr Corbyn's favour in the days since since 7 June.

The poll, conducted by YouGov for The Sunday Times, shows the Labour leader obliterating the 39-point lead Ms May had on the same question when she called the general election.

These polls matter because the Tory's coalition with the D.U.P. is doomed to fail sooner or later, which will trigger another election.
