Reform UK OVERTAKE the Tories for the primary time in an opinion ballot

Reform UK have overtaken the Tories in an opinion poll for the first time – with party leader Nigel Farage hailing an ‘inflection point’ in British politics.

A YouGov survey for The Times put Reform up two points to 19 per cent, with the Tories unchanged on 18 per cent.

The symbolic moment of Reform moving ahead of the Conservatives is another shattering blow to PM Rishi Sunak with just three weeks until the general election.

The poll showed Labour with an 18-point lead, with Sir Keir Starmer‘s party backed by 37 per cent of voters.

The Liberal Democrats were four points behind the Tories on 14 per cent.

Commenting on the YouGov result this evening, prior to taking part in an ITV debate, Mr Farage said: ‘This is the inflection point – the only wasted vote now is a Conservative vote.

‘We are the challengers to Labour, we’re on our way.’
