Deputy Leader of Reform UK, Ben Habib, has revealed a "surge" in numbers for the party, following the sacking of former Home Secretary Suella Braverman by Rishi Sunak.

Speaking to GB News, Habib said the political party has seen "double figures in five separate polls" in the last few weeks alone.

Habib told Britain's Newsroom hosts Bev Turner and Andrew Pierce: "Double figures in five separate polls in a couple of weeks. We're quite pleased with that.

"But I think that's a reflection really on an imploding Conservative Party. We surged in the polls when Liz Truss was ousted from office and then we surged again when Suella Braverman was sacked.

"And every time the Conservative party does something which demonstrates that they're in fact Liberal Democrats and not Tories, Reform UK does well, because we are genuinely conservative with a small C."
