NIGEL Farage could topple Sir Keir Starmer unless he seriously improves the economy, shaken Labour MPs admitted today. Politicians privately told Trending In The News that without desperately needed "growth" their time in power may be limited to the next election.
Nigel Farage's Reform Party gains momentum
Nigel Farage's Reform Party topped a poll for the first time in history this week, inching ahead of Labour. It comes after a bombshell poll by YouGov found that for the first time Reform is Britain’s most popular party. Mr Farage commands support of 25 per cent of the public, ahead of Labour on 24 per cent and the Tories on 21 per cent.
Looming threat to Sir Keir Starmer
Responding to the survey today, the Reform chief said: "People want strong, patriotic leadership that actually cares about ordinary people." Last night the poll was shared widely on Labour WhatsApp groups, with MPs scurrying to try and figure out how their seat could be impacted.
The road ahead for Labour
Labour MPs are aware of the challenge and believe that economic growth and public service improvements for left-behind towns are crucial for securing another term in office. They emphasize the need to demonstrate improvements in people's lives before the next General Election to regain public trust.
Labour's stance on British values
Dover’s Labour MP Mike Tapp expressed confidence that Labour's commitment to British values and hardworking British people will resonate with voters. He highlighted the importance of tough decisions to benefit the populace and believes the polls could shift during the parliamentary term.
