Yet another poll shows Reform UK falling to third place behind Tories

Reform UK has fallen just behind the Conservatives in a poll tracker, another sign that its support has weakened after leading polls for more than a year. Labour remains ahead, while the shift gives Kemi Badenoch’s party a narrow second-place position and adds to pressure on Nigel Farage’s party.

The Telegraph’s tracker puts Labour on 28.7 per cent, the Conservatives on 21.73 per cent and Reform on 21.66 per cent. Separate YouGov figures put the Tories on 24 per cent, up two points in a week, and Reform on 21 per cent. Reform has faced scrutiny over a £5m donation from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and undercover footage showing racist and other extreme comments by members; Farage is also under investigation over whether the donation should have been registered.
