Andrea Jenkyns praises GB News for 'fair debates' in scathing BBC analysis: 'Fair play to you guys!'

Dame Andrea Jenkyns said: "Labour needs to stop promising things that they've got no intention of delivering.

"I see that even on a micro level that we've got some of the other candidates promising to dual carriageway certain roads where they've been in power at the local council and have never done this.

"So it's things even at a micro level. Look just promise what you can deliver and start building up that trust again.

"Also the mainstream media has got so much that they need to do as well to restore that trust.

"I remember being on BBC Question Time over the years and, and actually it being a biased panel and four onto one.

"I just think people like GB News have a fair debate. Fair play to you. So I think the national media as well as politicians need to step up to the mark.

"I feel Reform UK is telling the truth. Say it as it is and we want common sense back into politics."

This comes as Reform UK has topped a national opinion poll for the first time, securing 26 per cent of voter support according to the latest Find Out Now survey.

The poll, conducted on Wednesday, placed Nigel Farage's party three points ahead of the Conservatives at 23 per cent.

Labour trailed in third place with 22 per cent, marking a significant shift in British political dynamics.

The survey, which questioned 2,380 UK adults, showed the Liberal Democrats at 12 per cent and the Greens at 10 per cent.

Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf issued a defiant statement on social media, declaring: "No pacts, no deals. Reform is headed for Government."

Party leader Nigel Farage celebrated the milestone, stating: "Reform LEADS for the first time in a national opinion poll. This is just the beginning."

Reform MP Rupert Lowe expressed confidence in the party's future electoral prospects, saying: "Reform now in the clear, leading a national opinion poll. I am more confident than ever that we will outright win the next general election - it is going to happen. It cannot come soon enough."

The Conservatives have dismissed the polling shift, with a spokesman for Kemi Badenoch telling GB News: "Polls go up and down and change every week."

Labour accused their rivals of "fighting among themselves" while highlighting their own focus on delivering change.
