Nigel Farage is leading the polls for the most favourable party leader.
Reform has also increased its lead to 12 points, according to IPSOS.
Although the figure differs between various outlets, the consensus is that Reform has overtaken Labour as the most likely party to form the next government in the UK.
John Swales, Chair of the Harrogate and Knaresborough branch for Reform UK, said: “The established parties are on life support. They have failed to deliver on the promises they have made to the people.
“Basically, we want to get our country back. We want to be a free, independent nation operating on the world stage. We don’t want to be bound by rules from the EU, and we certainly don’t want to pursue the nonsense policy of net zero.”
Whispers of a Reform takeover in Leeds were only heightened as the party made inroads in the city’s council. The Morley-South by-election saw Reform’s Ryan Taylor elected to represent the ward.
Leeds business owner Mohammed Khan: “I don’t like him or trust him. Farage lied the whole way through the Brexit debate with promises about the economy, for example.
“He was in no position to give away £350 million a week for the NHS. We’ve never seen that money.”
The right-wing party still divides opinion, as MP Sarah Pochin’s “ban the burka” comments prove. Pochin called for the garment worn by Muslim women to be outlawed during a heated PMQs in June.
Reform’s next opportunity to test its popularity will be the election for the Welsh Senedd next May.
