The Reform UK leader spoke on GB News after his party topped a poll for the first time

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage says he is ready to become the next Prime Minister of Great Britain after a new poll put his party ahead of Labour and the Conservatives.

Speaking on GB News, Nigel said the country is engulfed by a ‘miserable’ atmosphere, a stark contrast to what we are seeing across the pond.


Nigel Farage’s party are three points ahead of Kemi Badenoch’s Conservatives in the poll of 2,380 British adults, conducted by Find Out Now.

Labour trails in third place with 22 per cent, one point behind the Tories’ 23 per cent - marking a significant shift in the political landscape just six months into Keir Starmer’s Government.

“It feels very good indeed”, Said Nigel when asked by Martin Daubney for his snap reaction to topping the poll.

“It’s well-timed. I have a big event here in Clacton this evening so I hope this goes down well.

“All the momentum is with Reform. Why? I think it’s because we’re optimistic. We believe that with the right leadership, this country can be turned around.

“I also think many of our potential voters are seeing what’s happening in America where woke is out the window, DEI is suspended and much of the optimism is from the leadership.”

Nigel is back in the UK after a trip to America to witness Donald Trump’s inauguration, saying the contrast is palpable.

“What was really interesting with that big speech Trump made - and what an amazing speech it was - I re-read the Reform UK contract with the people from the last election and there’s so many issues in which we’re aligned”, he said on GB News.

“The optimism I was getting from taxi drivers, bartenders, there’s a renewed confidence in America.

“Then you come back here and frankly, everything is as miserable as sin. The contrast could not be greater. We’re about providing optimism and solutions. Britain is broken, Britain needs Reform.”
