Reform UK leader Nigel Farage declared his party “the opposition to Labour” after an opinion poll showed it had overtaken the Conservatives for the first time, the latest evidence suggesting Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is heading for a heavy election defeat.
The right-wing Reform was on 19% in a survey published by YouGov on Thursday evening, one point ahead of Sunak’s Tories, who were pushed into third place. Keir Starmer’s Labour Party, which is widely expected to take power at the July 4 general election, was well in the lead on 37%.
