Nigel Farage on Track to Become UK Prime Minister

“Nigel Farage would be in pole position to become the UK’s next prime minister if an election were held tomorrow, according to new polling which shows his upstart Reform party would wipe out Labour’s overwhelming majority from 2024,” Bloomberg reports.

“Reform UK would win 311 seats in the House of Commons in a national vote — up from five last year — with Labour dropping to 144 from 411, according to the projection on Friday from YouGov… While the tally for Farage is 15 shy of an outright majority in the 650-seat chamber, he’d be the best placed party leader to form a new government.”
