Support for  Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has jumped in another poll as Labour loses support.

The insurgent party is up three points from last week with 21% in the survey by Techne UK.

Sir Keir Starmer’s party remains narrowly in the lead but is down one point to 27%.

Meanwhile, the Tories are second with 25%, down two points from the week before.

The polling of 1,644 voters was carried out on Friday, suggesting the Prime Minister’s reset speech on Thursday made little impact.

The upward trend continues for Reform after it overtook Labour in a national opinion poll for the first time earlier this week.

The survey by Find Out Now put the rebranded Brexit Party on 24% of public support, although the findings are currently an outlier.

Labour was third with 23%, while the Conservatives were in the lead with 26%.

Reacting to the poll, Reform leader Mr Farage said: “And we’re just getting started.”

Reform chairman Zia Yusuf added: “Labour has hundreds of employees, 402 MPs and the full apparatus and distribution of the government at its disposal.

“Reform is polling ahead of them with 5 MPs and 16 employees.

“This is the most formidable grassroots movement in the history of British politics.”

It comes after Reform last month passed 100,000 members and unveiled former Tory minister Dame Andrea Jenkyns as the party’s candidate to be mayor of Greater Lincolnshire.
