A new poll has revealed that Labour is “haemorrhaging” seats across the UK and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK could become the largest political party in Britain.
Pollsters More In Common is predicting that Reform UK could secure hundreds of seats in Parliament as Labour will lose a record number of seats.
Labour could be hit with a major blow as nine Cabinet ministers could be set to lose their seats in the House of Commons.
More In Common has said that Labour is projected to lose 153 seats to Reform and the Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and the Home Secretary could lose their seats.
The Defence Secretary John Healey, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster Pat McFadden, Energy Secretary Ed Miliband; the Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds; the Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy and the Chief Whip Alan Campbell are all projected to also lose their seats.
Luke Tryl, the UK director of More in Common, said, “We are a long way from a General Election and trying to predict the result is a fool’s errand, but what we can say for certain is that as of today, British politics has fragmented to an unprecedented level.
The coalition for change that elected Keir Starmer’s Government has splintered right and left. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK emerges as the biggest winners of this Parliament so far, with our model suggesting that they could well become the largest party in Parliament, something almost unthinkable a year ago.
Though the party remains a long way from being able to secure a majority, it is clear Reform’s momentum is real and the question is whether their new level of support represents the start of a path to Government or a ceiling that Farage’s polarising brand finds hard to overcome.
Tryl warned that Labour could now be “on the wrong side of a disillusioned electorate,” risking “suffering historic losses in its heartlands.”
