For the first time, Nigel Farage’s far-right party Reform UK has emerged as the leading party in an opinion poll conducted by YouGov

Reform UK has topped a major national opinion poll for the first time in the latest boost for Nigel Farage. The YouGov survey puts the insurgent party on 25%, up two points from the week before. Labour is second with 24%, down three points, while the Conservatives are on 21%, down one.

Nigel Farage's right-wing Reform UK party is now the most popular political party in Britain, beating the governing Labour Party to take the lead for the first time in an opinion poll published on Monday.

Previous polls from Find Out Now show Reform have been creeping up the public’s radar for some months despite having just five MPs. In December, on the same day Keir Starmer was trying to reset his government, the pollsters announced Reform UK had overtaken Labour for the first time, while the Tories were in the lead.

Starmer’s party drops to 24 per cent of the vote, with Conservatives at 21 per cent
