Support for Sir Keir Starmer's Labour Party has fallen to just 14 per cent in a damning new opinion poll.

Sir Keir, who won a thumping landslide victory last summer on 34 per cent of the vote, is now in a distant fourth place, according to Find Out Now's latest survey.


Reform UK remains well out in front, with Nigel Farage hoovering up 31 per cent of the vote.

Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives trailed in second place on just 20 per cent, leaving Zack Polanski's Green Party in third on 18 per cent.

Such a scenario would hand Reform UK 400 seats and a majority of 150, polling aggregator Electoral Calculus has revealed.

Despite trailing the Tories, the Greens would become the official opposition on 58 seats.

The Liberal Democrats, who received just 11 per cent of the vote in the poll, would retain their third-party status on 48 seats.

Meanwhile, the Tories would fall behind the SNP on 39 seats and Labour would slump to just 25 seats.

Tyron Surman, the firm’s head of research, said it was the “lowest score we have ever had for Labour”.

He added: “People will point out that we have them lower than other pollsters… but worth remembering that every single pollster – not one exception out of roughly 20 pollsters – overstated Labour at the last election.”

WATCH: Zia Yusuf tells illegal migrant Reform will 'absolutely' deport him in fiery Question Time debate

Zia Yusuf has doubled down on Reform policy to deport all illegal migrants during his appearance on Question Time, as an illegal migrant in the audience told Reform's Head of Policy that he is "fleeing war".

As host Fiona Bruce asked Mr Yusuf if he would deport people like the man in the audience, Mr Yusuf stated: "If you are in this country illegally, let me be crystal clear.

"If Nigel Farage is our next Prime Minister, and that's obviously what we're working to deliver, if you're in this country illegally, you will be deported back to the country from which you came."

'Viewers are sick and tired of this bias!' BBC fury as Question Time 'plants' small-boat migrants during immigration debate

Nigel Farage's Reform UK has raged at the BBC after it was revealed tonight's immigration special of Question Time had an audience which included asylum seekers who arrived in Britain via small boats.

Tonight's edition of the long-running debate show was based in Dover and was exclusively focused on the topic of migration.

On the panel was Dover and Deal MP and Migration Minister Mike Tapp, Conservative MP for Bexhill and Battle Dr Kieran Mullan, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader Daisy Cooper, Green Party Leader Zack Polanski and Reform UK's Head of Policy Zia Yusuf.

Mr Yusuf, Reform's Head of Policy, said the BBC selected "multiple people" who made the dangerous journey across the English Channel , a statement confirmed by host Fiona Bruce.

He wrote on social media: "There were literally multiple people who arrived in this country illegally by boat asking questions on tonight’s Question Time Immigration Special!

"The BBC asked a question of an Iranian illegal migrant in the audience. His 'question' was him reading from his phone a list of reasons why Britain should *not* withdraw from the ECHR. He even mentioned the Northern Ireland Protocol! Incredible."

David Lammy has opened the door to rejoining the EU customs union amid calls from within No10 to reverse Brexit.

On Thursday, Mr Lammy refused to rule out rejoining the EU seven times during an interview, where he also claimed that Brexit had “badly damaged our economy”.

While the Deputy Prime Minister affirmed that a move to take Britain back into the customs union was not “currently” in Labour's agenda, he said that it was “self-evident” that other nations had “seen growth” by doing it.

Just a day prior, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the Government should reverse "the economic damage done by Brexit".
