Reform UK has hit its highest-ever level of support in a new poll as the Tories slumped to their lowest since Liz Truss.
The insurgent party led by Richard Tice hit 12 per cent in the survey by YouGov, up two points from last week.
Meanwhile, the Conservatives are down two points to 20 per cent, which is on par with the final days of Ms Truss’s brief premiership.
Labour is 27 points clear of the Tories on 47 per cent in the poll of 2,092 UK adults carried out on Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Lib Dems have eight per cent and the Greens are on seven per cent.
Less than half – 49 per cent – of 2019 Tory voters now say they will back the party, while 25 per cent have switched to Reform UK.
Reacting to the poll, Mr Tice said: “We continue relentlessly onwards and upwards.
“We knew 12 per cent would happen soon, next stop 13 per cent plus.”
Former MEP Rupert Lowe, who is standing for the party in the Kingswood by-election, added: “Reform up two points with YouGov to 12 per cent.
“Change is coming, something significant is happening. Decent Brits are saying enough is enough.”
Reform UK has vowed to stand candidates in every seat in Great Britain at the next general election, which must take place by January 2015.
Mr Tice has warned he will not enter into an electoral pact with the Conservatives.
It comes amid speculation over whether Nigel Farage, who is honorary president of Reform UK, will make a political comeback.
