Reform UK would become Britain's largest political party if an election were held today, a major survey suggests. 

YouGov's first MRP poll since Labour's landslide victory last year indicates Sir Keir Starmer's party would lose 233 of the 412 seats it won. 

Meanwhile, Reform is on track to have 271 new MPs putting Nigel Farage in pole position to become the UK's next prime minister. 

The poll also hints the Tories would lose another 75 seats, leaving the party with just 46 MPs. 

Patrick English, director of political analytics at YouGov, said the finding showed the extent to which the political landscape has changed. “Just a year since Labour’s election landslide, the party is on course to win fewer seats than it did in 2019,” he said.

“That a clear majority would now vote for someone other than the two established main parties of British politics is a striking marker of just how far the fragmentation of the voting public has gone over the past decade.”
