Last night, Nigel Farage joined six other prominent politicians in a heated debate on ITV. During the discussion, Farage made a bold claim, stating that the ruling Conservative party is on the brink of collapse, as his own party, Reform UK, has surpassed them in a recent poll. This shift in popularity is a significant change from the past 18 months, where Labour has consistently held a double-digit lead over the Conservatives, with other major parties trailing behind.
However, just before the debate, a new survey was released, showing Farage's insurgent party ahead of the Tories by 1%. Farage proudly declared to the audience that they are now the main opposition to Labour. The Conservatives, on the other hand, are trying to maintain a brave front, with one minister stating that they are not worried about the poll results. While Chancellor Rishi Sunak is taking a break from campaigning to attend the G7 summit, other politicians are still hitting the road today.
