Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is six points ahead of Labour in a new poll in a blow to Sir Keir Starmer.
The survey by Find Out Now puts the insurgent party on 29%, unchanged from the week before, with Labour down two points on 23%.
Reform is eight points ahead of the Tories on 21%, up three points from the previous week.
The Lib Dems are on 12%, while the Greens are on 9%, both down one, in the poll of 3,421 British adults carried out yesterday.
Reform chairman Zia Yusuf said: “The latest FindOutNow poll has Reform on 29%, just 2 points away from enough support to form the next government.”
Reform MP Rupert Lowe added: “Reform six points clear. We are going to win the next election, and we are going to restore Britain.”
Speaking to the Daily Express at a rally in Essex, he said: “Some great polls, amazing polls, so we are the opposition.
“Can Reform win the next election? Well, the history books say no, but I just feel something remarkable is going on, something really historic, something we’ve never seen in our lifetimes.
“Probably the last time you saw a movement like this was in 1918 when Labour suddenly emerged as a massive political party and the Liberals disappeared as a party of government. There is a good chance I could be the next prime minister.”
