Another day, another positive poll result for Reform. The latest Westminster voting intention poll from YouGov shows Nigel Farage’s party swooping into first place – again. More than a quarter of Brits would vote for the Reform crowd if there were a general election tomorrow, with the party up a point since last week and on its highest figure to date in a YouGov poll. Watch out Keir…

The Labour lot received the backing of 25 per cent of poll respondents – also up a point on the previous week – to land in second place, while Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue came third with just over a fifth of Brits backing the Tories. In fact the data revealed that 10 per cent of 2024 Labour voters would now support Reform, while just under a quarter of those who voted Tory at the July poll would switch to the Farage-founded party if there were a general election now.
