Reform tops huge poll for second week running with highest ever score | Politics | News

Reform chairman Zia Yusuf said: “Reform now leads in the latest YouGov voting intention poll – with our highest ever level of support, and five points clear of the Tories. Real change is coming to Britain.”

The rebranded Brexit Party, which returned five MPs in July’s general election but came second in 98 constituencies, has climbed the polls in recent months.

It comes as Reform leader Mr Farage and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch both yesterday ruled out an election deal between their two parties.

Ms Badenoch said talk of a pact was “for the birds” and dismissed the prospect of the Clacton MP entering 10 Downing Street.

Speaking as she marked 100 days as Tory leader, she told The Telegraph: “The Conservative Party is a broad church. When we had disagreements, what people saw was disunity. We’ve now got a place where we are unified.

“The idea that you just do something with a whole different bunch of people and it’s going to be fine is for the birds. Politics just doesn’t work like that.

“There are many people who vote Conservative, who, if they think that we’re having mergers or pacts or whatever with Reform, will go elsewhere.”

Meanwhile, Mr Farage said he did not consider the Conservatives to be “honourable”.

He said: “To do a pact with people, you’ve got to think, I’m going to shake your hand and you’re an honourable person.

“After the betrayal post the 2019 election, we do not believe them to be honourable. Simple as that, so the answer is no.”
