Reform UK is 16 points ahead of Labour in a new poll after Sir Keir Starmer’s attack on Nigel Farage. The survey by Find Out Now puts the insurgent party in the lead with 35%, up two points from the week before.
Labour is trailing behind in second place with 19%, also up two points. The Tories are third on 14%, while the Lib Dems are down four on 12% and the Greens are down one on 11%.
The poll of more than 2,000 people, which was carried out yesterday, comes after the Prime Minister used Labour’s conference to repeatedly attack Reform UK.
Sir Keir branded the right-wing party’s immigration policy to scrap indefinite leave to remain as “racist”.
But he later insisted Reform leader Mr Farage and his supporters are not “racist”.
Sir Keir’s attacks prompted the Clacton MP to accuse him of risking the safety of Reform campaigners.
Mr Farage said his claims “will incite and encourage the radical left” as he accused the PM of descending “into the gutter”.
The Brexiteer said Sir Keir should feel “ashamed” of his remarks, which he called an “absolute disgrace” in the wake of the fatal shooting of conservative US activist Charlie Kirk.
