In only the second MRP poll YouGov has done since the election Reform would only be 15 seats away from a majority in parliament. Labour’s landslide completely wiped out…
The poll of over 11,000 people is even worse for Labour than the last MRP conducted in June, in which Starmer’s party was set to return 178 MPs. Labour is now projected to lose 267 seats is got in 2024…
Under this result Labour would be unable to form a government in any coalition mix. Badenoch would also drop to only 45 MPs…
Cabinet ministers set to lose are: Bridget Phillipson, Ed Miliband, Lisa Nandy, Emma Reynolds, John Healey, Jonathan Reynolds, Nick Thomas-Symonds, Pat McFadden, Wes Streeting and Yvette Cooper. That’s a fun one on the eve of Labour Conference…
Farage has responded to Ed Davey’s conference speech in which it was claimed that a Reform government would roll back gun laws and force children to practice for school shootings. Just a flavour of some of the anti-Farage rants which made up the speech…
The Reform leader told Nick Ferrari on LBC:
“I mean honestly I don’t think you should take him too seriously. I mean I thought the fact that he mentioned me 30 times in his speech suggested a new phenomenon of ‘Farage Derangement Syndrome.’ He didn’t mention the prime minister once. I think Kemi got a look in very briefly. Totally obsessive. He doesn’t tell the country what he was for in any way at all. Just what he’s against which is me and Trump. He doesn’t want us to live in a Trump style country and I understand that. He doesn’t want borders. He doesn’t want economic growth. He doesn’t want men taken out of women’s sports. Uh look, honestly, I really don’t think we should take anything he said yesterday seriously. It was a joke.”
Ed Davey has spent most of his time in command of the third largest parliamentary party complaining that the BBC covers what Reform is up to. The political impact of a gnat…
At Reform’s press conference on immigration Guido’s Editorial Director Adam Cherry asked Farage to respond to Sadiq Khan’s attack on his proposals. The London Mayor said:
“Thousands of Londoners have indefinite leave to remain. They have legal rights and are our friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Threating to deport people living and working here legally is unacceptable.”
Farage came out swinging:
“What about the ones that aren’t working? What about the ones that have never worked and never will work? What about having an honest debate about those we’ve let into this country, many of whom are great people? Fine, we understand that. But too many of whom are not. We’ve totally we’ve totally misunderstood what a work permit, what a work visa is. It’s been a backdoor to full-time settlement. And look, you know, we will do battle with Mayor Khan in the 32 London boroughs that are up for election next May.”
Meanwhile Labour is insisting it is doing enough by “looking at” doubling the length of time it takes to get ILR. All is not well in the ranks of the party of government…
Farage is delivering a speech in Westminster on Reform’s new proposals to abolish Indefinite Leave to Remain. The policy proposals summarised:
- Abolition of Indefinite Leave to Remain within first 100 days of Reform government.
- Economic migrants to reapply for new visas with higher salary, “good character,” and English language requirements.
- Migrants forced to reapply every five years. Or face expulsion…
- Introduce a seven year waiting period prior to application for a British passport.
- Applicants spending 90 days outside of the UK or claiming benefits would have right to stay revoked.
- New settled worker visa to prohibit access to benefits or use of the NHS.
Labour says in response it is “looking at” doubling the time it takes to get ILR. Reform is going a deal further…

Nigel Farage has told Guido’s Ellie Wheatley he is opposed to the UK’s decision to ban Israelis from the Royal College of Defence Studies as of next year. Speaking at Reform’s press conference this morning, Farage said:
“I don’t think we should be doing that. And I think, you know, we’ve always been a great ally of Israel. It doesn’t mean we support every single thing they do, far from it. But… it seems to me that criticism of Israel, criticism of the Israeli army, criticism of zionism… and quite where that merges with outright antisemitism is perhaps a bigger intellectual debate than we can have right here right now. But it does seem to me that all the pressure is heading in that direction…”
It is the first time the college has ever excluded Israeli students…
