Nigel Farage has declared himself the real “leader of the opposition” and predicted his Reform UK party will gain more than 6m votes at the general election, after polling ahead of the Conservatives for the first time.
At an impromptu press conference in Westminster, the Reform leader said there was a momentum behind his party, and he “absolutely” believes he will gain more votes than the Tories.
“We are well ahead of the Conservatives in the north-east, the north-west, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands and parts of the eastern region. In what we call the ‘red wall’ seats, we are significantly ahead of the Conservatives.”
He went on to demand that the BBC allow him to take part in a leaders’ debate with the Tories, Labour, Liberal Democrats and the SNP next week, and challenged Keir Starmer to a head-to-head debate on immigration.
“The election is over. Labour has won … but perhaps more importantly who is going to be the opposition voice to Labour in the House of Commons and in the country? I’m putting it to you that I believe that I can be that voice of opposition.”
He urged voters to “join the revolt” of the Reform party, asking them: “What have you got to lose?”

(Bloomberg) -- Britain's ruling Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Sunak, is on track to lose more than two-thirds of its current seats in next month's general election. The latest survey, which analyzed the situation in each constituency, suggests that a series of big-name candidates may lose the election.
According to market research firm Ipsos announced on the 18th, the Conservative Party is expected to win 115 seats in the UK House of Commons (650 seats) election, a significant decrease from 365 in the previous election in 2019. The largest opposition party, the Labor Party, is expected to win by a landslide, gaining 453 seats, an increase of 73% from the number it currently holds. Ipsos conducted an online survey of approximately 20,000 people and analyzed the results.
However, Ipsos points out that 117 constituencies are "so close that it is difficult to judge," with Conservative candidates in second place in 50 constituencies and Labor candidates in second place in 43 constituencies. . "Small changes in voting behavior can make a huge difference to election outcomes," said Kelly Beaver, CEO of Ipsos UK and Ireland.

Regarding the British general election to be held next month, local media reported on the 19th that the main opposition Labor Party is expected to win well over half of the votes, the most seats ever for a party. Meanwhile, the ruling Conservative Party is expected to suffer a crushing defeat, with Prime Minister Sunak expected to become the first sitting prime minister to lose his seat.
On the 19th, Britain's Telegraph newspaper released a joint opinion poll with a research firm and reported that the main opposition Labor Party is expected to win well over half of the vote, the largest number of seats ever for a party. Labor is expected to win 516 of the 650 seats in the House of Commons.
On the other hand, the ruling Conservative Party lost only a few seats from its current 365 seats, with Prime Minister Sunak becoming the first sitting prime minister to lose his own seat, and approximately three-quarters of cabinet ministers losing in their constituencies. The party is expected to win only 53 seats and face a landslide defeat.
