Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has come joint first in a national opinion poll for the first time.

The survey by Find Out Now put the insurgent party level with Labour on 25%.

The Conservatives are five points behind with 20% in the poll of 2,078 British adults carried out yesterday.

Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf said: “Reform has all the momentum in British politics, as this latest poll shows.

“This is the first time we have topped a national opinion poll but it won’t be the last.

“Real change is coming to Britain after years of failure and deception by Labour and the Tories.”

The party’s deputy leader Richard Tice added that it was “onwards and upwards”.

Reform MP Rupert Lowe said: “Reform joint top of a national opinion poll for the first time ever. Real change is coming.”

Mr Farage’s party has previously overtaken both Labour and the Conservatives in different opinion polls.

But the Find Out Now survey is the first time Reform has come joint first.
