Original Note:
The claim “Reform will cost the Tories 96 seats” (made by the Telegraph, not YouGov) is only true on the assumption that if Reform did not stand, all Reform voters would vote Conservative. In reality, many would vote Labour or not vote at all, so this figure is an exaggeration. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/01/14/reform-uk-richard-tice-rishi-sunak-tories-general-election/
