Party conference begins next week when Reform UK kick off their two-day jamboree in Birmingham. Spirits within Nigel Farage’s party are high after a successful summer in which they dominated the recess period with a well-executed ‘flood the zone’ media strategy. A steady drumbeat of weekly announcements culminated on Tuesday when Reform’s long-awaited deportation strategy was unveiled. Now, the party has received a further boost with a new poll for the i paper which gives them their highest polling to date: Reform 35, Labour 20, Conservatives 17 per cent.
This is the first time Reform has hit 35 points. Polling averages are what matters most but today’s survey is a statement nonetheless. Party strategists for months have hoped that they can hit the magic 40 mark – a figure which would virtually guarantee a comfortable working majority at any general election. Hitting that milestone looked ambitious four months ago; now it appears to be a real possibility. Particularly gratifying for both Farage and former chairman Zia Yusuf is the public’s reaction to their deportation plan. Some 39 per cent of all voters say it is ‘likely’ that Reform can carry out its strategy to deport 600,000 people if elected, compared to 29 per cent against.
Figures in both Labour and the Conservatives hope that ‘the summer of Farage’ will draw to an end once parliament returns from recess on Monday. But Reform conference offers the Clacton MP the chance to grab the spotlight once more. Part of the party’s appeal lies in its ability to do things differently and deviate from standard political norms. The Birmingham bonanza offers the chance for Reform to showcase fresh faces – more women, younger members and regional voices too.

Since the election isn’t for another 4 years, that and a nickle buys a nice hot cup of jack squat.
Parliament might decide to suspend elections in order to “save democracy.”
By 2029, the UK will declare war on Russia to defend Ukraine for the rally ‘round the flag effect just in time for the election.
Wouldn’t shock me in the least.
Labour is digging themselves a whole with their response to the immigration crisis.
Good, now lets make it 30 points !
This needs to be an extinction event !!!
They're even worse at this than Biden.
They're not incompetent.
It's all intentional.
isnt a no confidence vote possible?
The Tories don’t want it either, because they’ll suffer the same fate as Labour.
Labour will hopefully all be beheaded by then.
“ Now, the party has received a further boost with a new poll for the i paper which gives them their highest polling to date: Reform 35, Labour 20, Conservatives 17 per cent.”
As my beloved grandma used to say, “That and a nickel will get you on the subway”
There’s no election in the UK until 2029. And Labour has a 400 seat majority.
Yes but with 398 seats they can ignore public opinion and hold out until 2029.
> Since the election isn’t for another 4 years… <
You beat me to it. If Labour was governing as part of a shaky coalition, an early election might be possible. But Labour has a comfortable majority in Parliament.
Labour might decide to replace Starmer as prime minister. But his replacement will be one just like him. “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”
Labour has all the power. They can easily destroy what’s left of the UK in those four years.
And the Tories don’t want it neither.
“Since the election isn’t for another 4 years, that and a nickle buys a nice hot cup of jack squat”
Yep, four years is to late. Best start the revolution sooner than later.
Labour might decide to replace Starmer as prime minister. But his replacement will be one just like him. “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.”
It might be Sadiq Khan.
Nothing will change except the new boss may be more charismatic.
It has been documented that one of Reform’s 12 million voters said he believes that only 5 Million Jews were killed in the Holocaust, not the generally accepted number of 6 Million Jews.
EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT REACTION TO ABOVE:
“The above voter is thus a Holocaust denier and therefore is a Fascist. Since he supports Reform, that PROVES that Reform is a Fascist party, and therefore Reform will be BANNED.”
