Read our privacy policy Nigel Farage’s decision to stand as a candidate in the general election has given his party Reform UK a three point boost a new poll has suggested. The weekly tracker poll by Techne UK for The Independent has registered Reform’s support climbing from 12 points to 15 in the week since Farage made his dramatic announcement in the seaside town of Clacton. The event will mark Mr Farage’s first debate appearance since his shock takeover as leader of Reform UK If this Techne UK poll of 1,645 people was the result of a general election then the Tories would be reduced to being the third party on 35 seats according to Electoral Calculus. Our regular tracker poll this week immediately shows the impact of Farage’s announcements with Reform UK jumping up a dramatic three points in national vote share to 15 percent.

The Independent  

The extraordinary poll showing Reform UK has overtaken the Labour Party in popularity can be attributed to many factors. A hostile response to Labour’s £40bn tax grab in the Budget; a series of missteps by Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves – and a lack of any overall sense of direction – are just three. Unlike Farage, Starmer suffers from a …

They may like to regard themselves as the rebellious, irreverent, slightly edgy “foxes in the henhouse”, but Reform UK’s MPs are not going to be allowed to get away with that much in the House of Commons.
