Nigel Farage’s Reform Party have topped a national poll in the UK for the very first time, and are on track to win twice as many seats as the Conservative Party.
A survey of over 2,000 British adults found that Reform now have 25% support, matching the figure for the governing Labour Party, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The Conservatives, led by Kemi Badenoch, managed 20%.
This is the first time Reform have topped a national poll, and is another sign of the party’s increasing momentum as disaffection and anger with the established parties grows.
Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf told The Express: “Reform has all the momentum in British politics, as this latest poll shows. This is the first time we have topped a national opinion poll, but it won’t be the last.”
An analysis of the poll found that if a general election matched its results, Reform would win 170 seats in the House of Commons, compared to the Conservatives’ 89. At present, Reform has just five seats, and the Conservatives 121.
Labour would lose over 160 seats, wiping out their majority.
Barely six months into Keir Starmer’s tenure as Prime Minister, support for his government continues to crumble, as a result of his mishandling of the economy, divisive new tax policies for farmers, corruption scandals and the growing row over Muslim grooming gangs, including whether Starmer participated in an official coverup while serving as the UK’s top prosecutor from 2008 to 2013.
