Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has been dealt a major blow with an incredible graph showing he’s really in trouble as Reform UK continues to deliver massive blows to traditional parties. The Tories and Labour have held a historical grip on elections in England, however, this appears to have come to an end after Reform UK stormed to impressive wins in a number of local by-elections in recent months.
Nigel Farage’s party swept to an astonishing victory in May’s local elections, gaining 677 councillors and 10 councils, many more than experts had predicted. The party has also led in every single national opinion poll since early April, with Mr Farage claiming Reform UK is “now the main opposition party”. A new chart indicates the party has built further on its successes in the aftermath of the spring local elections with Labour and the Tories seemingly being left behind.

Storming ahead, Reform UK has 31% of the vote share and in a further blow to Starmer, Labour aren’t even in second place with Ed Davey’s Liberal Democrat Party having 20%.
Starmer only slightly edges the Tories to third with a tragic percentage of 17% whilst Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives are in fourth position with just 16% of the vote share.
The report found that Reform won the bulk of 65 contests in the past two months, winning 24 council seats, of which 21 were gains from other parties.
It comes after a new poll by Freshwater Strategy on behalf of City AM which found Reform is considered the party most likely to support UK business needs. On a scale of 0 to 10, Reform was rated an average of 4.8, with the Tories on 4.4 and Labour on 3.8.
This suggests that Farage‘s Reform UK is increasingly seen not only as the party best placed to tackle immigration and lawlessness, but to fix Britain’s economy as well.
