Reform polls ahead of Labour for first time

When it rains for Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour lot, it pours. In the same week an Ipsos poll revealed that over half of all Brits feel disappointed by Labour’s achievements so far, now another poll brings more bad news for Starmer’s army. The FindOutNow voting intention poll has demoted Sir Keir’s crowd to third place – overtaken by none other than Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Talk about a turnaround, eh?

The survey, using data collected on 4 December, shows the Tories in first place with 26 per cent backing Kemi Badenoch’s boys in blue. Next, for the first time, Farage’s lot have beaten Labour. Reform has seen an uplift of two percentage points since polling on 27 November to come in second place with 24 per cent support, ahead of the current government which – after just five months in office – is in third place with just 23 per cent of Brits backing the Starmtroopers.
