Reform UK has hit its highest-ever level of support in a bombshell new poll.

The survey puts Nigel Farage’s insurgent party in first place on 29%, up two points from the week before.

Labour is second with 25%, up two, while the Tories are down three to 18%.

The Lib Dems are up two points on 13%, while the Greens are unchanged on 10% in the Find Out Now poll of 2,487 British adults carried out yesterday.

Reform’s chairman Zia Yusuf described the findings as “huge”, saying: “The first poll to put the Tories below 20% and Reform at almost 30%. Real change is coming to Britain.”

It is the latest boost for Mr Farage’s right-wing party which also topped a landmark YouGov poll earlier this week.

It comes as the Reform leader has declared he has a “34-45% chance” of entering 10 Downing Street at the next general election.

But the Clacton MP insisted he would stand aside if “some younger and better” arrived on the scene.

He told the Evening Standard: “I’d say there’s a 35-45 per cent chance. And by the way, it might not be me.

“Someone younger and better might come along. Somebody more suitable. And if they do I’ll recognise them.

“I’m not an egomaniac. It doesn’t have to be me. At the moment I’m the best person to do it.”

The Clacton MP described his party as “probably the frankest about the problems we’ve got”, adding: “The 10 million population explosion in the last 20 years has damaged the quality of life.”

But Mr Farage denied that Reform was a “one-policy party” focused on immigration.

He said: “The reason we are doing well is because people see us as positive. ‘Family, Community, Country’, that’s our slogan.

“We are the things we think matter to people, the things which are being undervalued and have been damaged by successive governments. We have many strings to our bow. Economics might be bigger than immigration for us at the next election.”
