Nigel Farage storms into seven-point lead over Labour in Red Wall as Reform's support surges

The polls looked at 1,000 voters in 'Red Wall' Seats, defined as the 42 parliamentary constituencies the Conservative Party won in the 2019 General Election that had traditionally been held by the Labour Party.

While Labour won the majority of these seats back last year, many of the areas swung to Reform at this year's Local Elections, including Doncaster and County Durham.

Farage is preferred as best Prime Minister by 27 per cent of Red Wall adults, with Starmer ending up in second on 24 per cent.

In third and fourth places are the two former party leaders who fought against each other at the 2019 General Election, with Johnson on 12 per cent and Jeremy Corbyn on nine per cent.

Meanwhile, in damning news for Labour frontbenchers, former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe cemented six per cent, putting him ahead of Angela Rayner, Ed Miliband and Wes Streeting.

The poll is also grim reading for opposition frontbenchers, with Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick both ranking behind Corbyn on eight per cent and three per cent respectively.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

• GB News polling shows Labour's Red Wall is CRUMBLING as voters' ‘regret’ EXPOSED
• Nigel Farage poised to make huge gains in Labour's Red Wall shake up as 68% say 'Britain is broken'
• Keir Starmer launches 'mission critical' campaign to halt Labour 'wipeout' at hands of Nigel Farage

Meanwhile, Farage had 44 per cent of voters placing him in their top three, compared to Starmer and Johnson, who are both tied on 39 per cent, and Badenoch on 33 per cent.

It comes as the Labour Red Wall Group said the Government needed to "act now" to win back voters in the Red Wall.

Jo White, MP for Bassetlaw and leader of the group, told GB News the Government's communication had broken down with voters, adding: "Now they're not listening to what we're doing, they don't believe us anymore.

"What I ask of Sir Keir Starmer is to come to Bassetlaw and talk to the people of Bassetlaw."

Meanwhile, the Reform UK leader has pledged to scrapping the two-child benefit cap and reinstating the Winter Fuel Allowance.

Farage has challenged the Prime Minister to accompany him to a working men's club in the heart of the Red Wall to see who connects better with working people.

In a blistering attack on the Clacton MP, the Prime Minister said: "We have to be clear that every opportunity [Farage] has had in this Parliament to back working people, he's voted against. Telling the workers at Jaguar Land Rover they deserve to go bust.

"A state-slashing, NHS-privatising Putin apologist. Without a single patriotic bone in his body. We will take the fight to him. We will fight as Labour."
