For the first time ever, Nigel Farage and the Reform Party have topped the polls. As I predicted, this moment has arrived.
The latest poll, conducted by Find Out New, a respected polling agency, places the Reform Party and Labour Party in joint first place with 25% each, leaving the Conservatives 5 points behind. This result has caused a major stir in Westminster.
The poll reveals that the Reform Party has already gained the support of one in four people who voted for Rishi Sunak and the Conservatives in July. It’s even more popular than the Conservatives among all age groups except pensioners.
Speaking on GB News, Matt Goodwin discussed what’s driving this shift. He highlighted key concerns of Reform voters, particularly stopping illegal and mass immigration.
Recent polls show that these concerns are shared by many across the country. According to YouGov, 70% of the public believes immigration is “too high,” while only 18% think immigration has been mostly good for the UK—a record low.
The reality is clear: the UK has been experiencing large-scale, low-wage immigration, with 86% coming from outside Europe. This has fueled frustration among voters, giving the Reform Party an opportunity to fill this gap.
The question now is whether the traditional parties can address these concerns. However, with small boat crossings up 25% from last year and legal immigration seemingly unchecked, it seems unlikely.
