Nigel Farage’s Reform UK is six points ahead of Labour in a new poll in a blow to Sir Keir Starmer.

The survey by Find Out Now puts the insurgent party on 29%, unchanged from the week before, with Labour down two points on 23%.

Reform is eight points ahead of the Tories on 21%, up three points from the previous week.

The Lib Dems are on 12%, while the Greens are on 9%, both down one, in the poll of 3,421 British adults carried out yesterday.

Reform chairman Zia Yusuf said: “The latest FindOutNow poll has Reform on 29%, just 2 points away from enough support to form the next government.”

Reform MP Rupert Lowe added: “Reform six points clear. We are going to win the next election, and we are going to restore Britain.”

It comes as Reform, which returned five MPs in July’s general election but came second in 98 constituencies, has led a series of national opinion polls.

Reform leader Mr Farage earlier this month declared there is a “good chance” he could be Britain’s next prime minister.

Speaking to the Daily Express at a rally in Essex, he said: “Some great polls, amazing polls, so we are the opposition.

“Can Reform win the next election? Well, the history books say no, but I just feel something remarkable is going on, something really historic, something we’ve never seen in our lifetimes.

“Probably the last time you saw a movement like this was in 1918 when Labour suddenly emerged as a massive political party and the Liberals disappeared as a party of government. There is a good chance I could be the next prime minister.”
