Labour has been dealt with a crushing blow as new polling has put Sir Keir Starmer's party on its lowest ever result as Reform UK rose to the top.
Polling from FindOutNowUK taken between September 17 and 18 had Nigel Farage's party on 34 per cent, with the Conservatives and Labour in joint second on 16 per cent.
In fourth are the Liberal Democrats on 13 per cent, with the Green Party just behind on 12 per cent.
Using the Electoral Calculus prediction, the numbers give Reform UK a majority of 264, with the Liberal Democrats becoming the official opposition on 52 seats, with Labour on 44.
Among the Labour and Conservative bigwigs who would lose their seats to Reform include Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch and Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick.
Ashfield MP Lee Anderson said: "No seat is safe from the People's Army. Reform UK are coming for the two main parties."

Over 400 migrants cross Channel in small boats despite Labour returning TWO asylum seekers to France
At the end of a frustrating week for the Government in which just two small boat migrants have been returned to France, GB News can reveal that at least 400 others are currently crossing the English Channel.
After nine days of windy weather, preventing migrant crossings, conditions improved overnight.
At first light, people smugglers around the Calais and Dunkirk areas pushed multiple small boats out into the Channel.
Tony Blair's plans for Gaza 'endorsed' by Donald Trump
President Donald Trump is said to have backed plans first put forward by Tony Blair for an international authority to rebuild and run Gaza after the Israeli military occupation of the territory ends.
The President had previously signalled support for the much destroyed enclave to be turned into a "Riviera of the Middle East."
Sir Tony's proposal would guarantee Gaza citizens their existing land rights.
A source told The Times of Israel, which first reported President Trump's approval of the plan: "We do not have a plan to move the Gazan population out of Gaza...Gaza is for Gazans."
A draft of the proposal, seen by the Israeli newspaper, suggests that when the IDF withdraws from Gaza the territory should be run by a "Gaza international transitional authority" established by a UN security council resolution.

UK could recognise Palestinian state as early as today
The UK could recognise a Palestinian state as early as later today, as Israel has failed toto meet conditions that would have postponed the step.
British recognition of Palestine is all but guaranteed, as Israel has already said it is opposed to Sir Keir’s conditions, including agreeing to a ceasefire, a two-state solution to peace, and halting annexations in the West Bank.
Recognition needs to be seen as "part of that overall package which hopefully takes us from the appalling situation we’re in now to the outcome of a safe and secure Israel, which we do not have, and a viable Palestinian state" Sir Keir added.

Richard Tice says Donald Trump 'bossed around' Keir Starmer
Reform UK's deputy leader Richard Tice said President Donald Trump "bossed around" Keir Starmer at yesterday's press conference.
The Boston and Skegness MP told GB News: "[Trump was] patting Starmer on the back and telling him how to run the country.
"Obviously the dinner the night before was incredible and Trump loves pageantry, he loves the UK, he is a lover of Scotland. All of that reinforced the special relationship which is fantastic.
"But the bottom line is he is telling this Government how to run things."
Labour minister says Navy can be called upon 'if needed' to tackle small boats crisis
Almost 1,100 small boat migrants crossed the Channel last weekend
| GETTYA Labour minister has said the Navy can be called upon "if needed" to tackle small boat crisis.
Asked about the US president’s claims, Business Secretary Peter Kyle told the BBC: "Well, what he suggested was the military are used, but we have the UK Border Force that is now established and has been reinforced and bolstered and have new powers under this Government.
"The Navy actually does have a working relationship with the UK Border Force, and the Navy can be called upon if needed.
"So we do have the functional relationship that we need between our military and keeping our borders safe and secure but what we really need at the moment is our military focused on all of those really key issues around the world, directly relating to our national defence."
Ed Davey refuses 10 times to say women cannot have penises
Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has admitted transgender rights are "a difficult issue" as he refused to say women cannot have penises.
The issue of transgender rights is threatening to cast a shadow over the party's annual conference after it emerged gender-critical activists at the party conference will attempt to force the Lib Dems to bar trans women from taking female jobs.
When asked if a woman can have a penis by Piers Morgan, he said: "The vast majority of people identify with the same gender they had at birth, but there are a few who do not.
"For over 20 years we’ve had a Gender Recognition Act which said that people who want to change their gender can do so. And that’s been cross-party. I think this is a difficult issue.
He went on: "If you have a different view of your gender than your biological sex at birth, then the Act gives you that right. But the vast majority of people have the same gender as their biological sex."

Donald Trump says Keir Starmer needs to take 'strong stand' on immigration
Donald Trump said the Prime Minister should take a “strong stand” on immigration, which is "hurting him badly."
Speaking to Fox News at the end of his state visit to the UK, the US president said of Sir Keir Starmer: "I think he’s a very fine guy. He’s more liberal than me.
"I think he should take a very strong stand on the immigration. It’s really hurting him badly. I think he has to open up the North Sea. They have some of the best oil in the world and they have a lot of it.
"They have a lot of it and they made it impossible for people to drill. I think that’s what causes their energy...they have a big energy problem here with the pricing."
Newest Reform MP says he knows he is 'letting down a huge number of people' after defection
Reform UK's newest MP has said his choice to defect to Nigel Farage's party hasn't been "particularly enjoyable" on a personal level.
East Wiltshire MP Danny Kruger announced he was defecting earlier this week, becoming the second Conservative to do so after Lee Anderson.
He told The Spectator: "On a personal level, it hasn’t been particularly enjoyable...because I know I am letting down a huge number of really decent people who I respect and like.
"I don’t like the idea of it being like a family because you can’t leave your family. But it’s like a club that is really meaningful.
"I’ve come to the conclusion that the Conservative club is a barrier to conservatism, and therefore, it’s necessary to leave it."
Flag campaigns show Britons are 'not embarrassed about being British', says crossbench peer
People are attaching the St George's and Union flags to lamp posts to "express solidarity with each other" and show they are not "embarrassed about being British", a leading peer has said.
Baroness Fox of Buckley also criticised what she described as "a kind of form of snobbery that's basically anti working class" among the UK's ruling class towards ordinary Britons.
And this in turn led to an inability of the Establishment to comprehend why Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is so popular among voters.
