Farage’s support has ‘topped out’, pollster claims as Starmer told to stop obsessing about Reform
Reform’s support has peaked after council by-elections hit, pollster says
- Leading pollster Lord Robert Hayward suggests Reform UK's forward momentum has ended, with their support having "topped out".
- This assessment follows Reform losing two council by-elections they were defending last week, alongside a slight dip in recent national polls.
- The party has also faced internal challenges, including an MP resigning the whip and only three of its original five MPs remaining.
- Reform UK disputes Lord Hayward's analysis, citing recent polls showing higher support and gains in other council by-elections.
- Separately, senior figures like Lord Jim O'Neill have advised the Labour Party to cease "obsessing" over Reform UK.
