Labour tipped for DECIMATION in humiliating new poll as Keir Starmer haemorrhages MPs to Reform UK
WATCH: Matt Goodwin says 'Keir Starmer is not a patriotic leader'
GB NEWS
Labour has been tipped to lose hundreds of seats across Britain after a humiliating new poll.
Pollsters at Find Out Now have placed Nigel Farage's Reform UK in a breakaway first place - with 28 per cent of Britons saying they would vote for the party at a General Election.
Eight percentage points lower sit both Labour and the Conservatives on 20 per cent - but when mapped out across the UK, the ramifications of the data would see Sir Keir Starmer turfed out of Downing Street.
Labour's 406 MPs would be reduced by almost 90 per cent to 41 - with Reform surging nationwide from Cornwall to Cumbria, picking up 374 seats for a Commons majority.
Responding to the figures, a party statement read simply: "Only Reform will fix broken Britain. Vote Reform, get Reform."
Some of the party's highest-profile MPs would also lose their seats to left-wing challengers - Foreign Secretary David Lammy would lose out to the Greens, as would Corbynista firebrand Diane Abbott.
The Conservatives would also see their parliamentary presence more than halved, dropping by 63 seats to just 58.
If such polling came true at an election, it would completely redefine the British political landscape - delivering a Reform UK Government and Liberal Democrat opposition.
WATCH: Rosie Duffield speaks about her relationship with Sir Keir Starmer
EXCLUSIVE: 'Celebrities are too privileged to understand why women are enraged by the trans debate', says Rosie Duffield
Celebrities are too privileged to understand why the trans debate matters so much to women, outspoken gender-critical MP Rosie Duffield has said.
Duffield - who was ostracised in the Labour party over her position on trans women before she quit last September - said she took a stand on behalf of "ordinary workers whose names we don't know".
Her comments come after actor Pedro Pascal dubbed JK Rowling a "heinous loser" after the Harry Potter author celebrated the UK Supreme Court's ruling last week that trans women are not legally women.
READ IN FULL: Downing Street readout on Starmer-Von der Leyen meeting
Downing Street has released a readout of Sir Keir Starmer's meeting with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen earlier today.
It reads: "The Prime Minister met the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Downing Street today.
"They had a long and productive discussion focused on a range of issues including Ukraine, energy security, the global economy, and defence.
"Both condemned the deadly Russian strike on Kyiv overnight and reiterated that they will continue to stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes.
"Discussing the ongoing negotiations to strengthen the UK-EU partnership, they both agreed that good progress had been made.
"They asked their teams to continue their important work in the coming weeks, with the aim of delivering as ambitious a package as possible at the first UK-EU summit next month.
"The Prime Minister was clear that he will seize any opportunity to improve the lives of working people in the United Kingdom, drive growth and keep people safe - and he believes a strengthened partnership between the UK and the EU will achieve this.
"They agreed to keep in close contact in the coming weeks."
EXCLUSIVE: Keir Starmer 'looked at me like I was an ALIEN' says MP shunned by Labour in trans rights row
Sir Keir Starmer "looked at Rosie Duffield like she was an alien" when the pair met for the first time in four years in May 2024, the former Labour MP has said.
Duffield - who spoke to the future Prime Minister for just 17 minutes last May - vowed that she could only re-enter Labour if and when Starmer is no longer the party's leader in an interview with Chopper's Political Podcast.
Duffield was speaking for the first time since Starmer refused to apologise during Prime Minister's Questions this week, for how she was treated by the party when she was "hounded out".
She said she found herself isolated and ostracised in the party - in part because of her position supporting women's rights in the trans debate.
Rachel Reeves to attack Donald Trump's tariffs in Washington DC speech
Rachel Reeves will rally against tariffs and 'barriers to trade' in a speech in Washington DC tonight
GETTYRachel Reeves will rally against tariffs and "barriers to trade" in a speech in Washington DC tonight as she hunts down a UK-US trade deal.
The Chancellor is expected to tell the International Monetary Fund's spring meeting of finance ministers from the G7 and G20 that "the world has changed and so must we".
Reeves will say: "We are in a new era of global trade, and in that new era we need a system that provides security for working people, stability for businesses, and prosperity for national economies.
"To deliver this, we need to do three things: tackle excessive global trade imbalances, reduce barriers to trade, and promote strong multilateral institutions."
So far on her transatlantic trip, the Chancellor has insisted that there is still "a deal to be done" between London and Washington, but also appeared to rule out at least some changes the US is thought to be seeking.
She told the BBC that Labour would not dilute British standards as part of a trade deal - and vowed that the Americans "respect and understand that".
Her address comes ahead of a scheduled sit-down with US Treasury secretary Scott Bessent on Friday - which could prove pivotal in securing some kind of agreement.
EXCLUSIVE: Police launch urgent probe into Labour 'altercation' between councillor and ex-MP
Police are investigating an "altercation" between a Labour councillor and former MP after a row erupted following an event in Birmingham.
Witness statements seen by GB News claim that Khalid Mahmood, who was the MP for Birmingham Perry Barr until he lost his seat to pro-Gaza independent Ayoub Khan last summer, was "aggressively confronted" by at least two campaigners at the event in early April.
At a Labour Party event for "Building Bridges in the Muslim Community", witnesses alleged that Cllr Waseem Zaffar had to be restrained after approaching Mahmood and shouting profanities at the former MP.
RECAP: Corbynista MPs demand Keir Starmer BANS Donald Trump addressing Parliament as PM faces left-wing meltdown
More than a dozen Corbynista MPs have demanded Sir Keir Starmer blocks Donald Trump speaking to Parliament when he makes his landmark second state visit to Britain later this year.
A string of Independent, Labour and Green MPs - including firebrands Diane Abbott, Zarah Sultana and John McDonnell - have tabled an Early Day Motion condemning Trump's so-called "misogynism [sic], racism and xenophobia".
Their EDM also raises "concerns" on his comments about the UK, parliamentary democracy, the Middle East, equalities and his conduct around Ukraine.
As a result, they say, it would be "inappropriate" for the Commander-in-Chief to address MPs in Westminster.
Back in 2017, Trump was controversially barred from making a speech to Parliament by ex-Commons Speaker John Bercow - who said such an address was "an earned honour", not an "automatic right".
This time around, the Commons Speaker, the Lord Speaker and the Lord Great Chamberlain - represented by Black Rod - will all have to agree to let Trump speak.
As Kemi Badenoch shrugs off Jenrick rift rumours... top Tory publicly backs deal with Reform UK
Kemi Badenoch shrugged off rumours of a rift with her former leadership rival and current Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick this afternoon after he appeared to call for a "coalition" with Reform UK.
Jenrick, in audio revealed by Sky News, said now was the time to "bring this coalition together" in a bid to take down Labour.
And now, Badenoch has said: "I did actually see him [Jenrick] yesterday. We had a very good conversation.
"People are always trying to create personality disagreements which just aren't there.
"He is a valued member of the team, he works very hard and he is holding Labour's feet to the fire and holding the Government to account in the Shadow Justice role and that's what I want to see."
But then, Tory peer Ben Houchen called for a "coming-together" of Reform and the Conservatives to fend off the left.
The Tees Valley Mayor told Politico that a "very practical decision" will have to be made if the Tories fail to reverse Reform UK's surge in the polls.
"I don't know what it looks like. I don't know whether it's a pact. I don't know whether it’s a merger... a pact of trust and confidence or whatever.
"But if we want to make sure that there is a sensible centre-right party leading this country, then there is going to have to be a coming together of Reform and the Conservative Party in some way. What that looks like is slightly above my pay grade at the moment."

Von der Leyen pushes for Britain to join EU-wide defence programme
Ursula von der Leyen has hinted that talks with Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street today could "pave the way" for Britain to join up with a European defence programme.
VDL said that "Europe has to step up its defence expenditure" - and she "very much welcomed" that several countries have recently boosted their military spending.
Then, turning to the UK, she said: "And bilaterally, of course, we will discuss work on a strategic security and defence partnership agreement, which might pave the way then to a joint procurement and UK participation in our Safe programme."
Safe, or Security Action for Europe, is a programme which allows EU members and countries who have signed defence and security partnerships to work together on defence procurement.

Ex-Labour MEP peer claims his trans friends 'are seeking asylum abroad' following common-sense Supreme Court ruling
Lord Cashman told the Lords today that trans people in Britain 'are living in fear of their safety'
PARLIAMENTLIVE.TV
An ex-Labour MEP peer has claimed that some of his transgender friends are "looking at seeking asylum" overseas following last week's landmark Supreme Court ruling.
Lord Cashman told the Lords today that trans people in Britain "are living in fear of their safety" following the ruling - which clarified that a "woman" is a definition based on biological sex.
He said: "Currently, trans people in this country live in fear, they live in fear of their safety, their futures, indeed some friends are now looking at seeking asylum in countries where they will fear not [for their] safety but where they will receive a welcome.
Baroness Smith of Malvern replied: "I very much hope that trans people will still believe that this a country where they are welcomed, where their rights and their dignity are upheld. That is certainly the position in law."
Clean energy 'in Labour's DNA', Starmer says
Sir Keir Starmer has vowed that clean energy is in Labour's "DNA" at today's energy summit.
He told attendees that green power was the way "to take back control of our energy system, ensure energy security, and bring down bills in the long term".
"That's in the DNA of my Government," he said.
Starmer also laid down the gauntlet to critics of Labour's clean energy push - and those who suggested that developing renewables and tackling climate change could wait.
"Do they think bill payers can wait, do they think economic growth can wait? Do they think the way to win the green jobs race is by going slow?" he blasted. "That would serve no one."
Starmer blasts Putin's Russia as he vows 'energy security is national security'
Sir Keir Starmer has told an energy summit in London that the "world has changed" and that energy was at the heart of the global insecurity and local insecurity people were feeling.
"Every family and every business across the UK has paid the price of Russia weaponising energy," he said.
"When it comes to energy we are also paying the price for our exposure over many years to the rollercoaster of international fossil fuel markets.
"Energy security is national security and therefore a fundamental duty of government.
"We can't deliver that by defending the status quo or by trying to turn back the clock," he added.
RECAP: Nigel Farage unveils four-point migration plan as Reform makes major deportation promise
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled his four-point plan to end the migrant crisis
PA
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled his four-point plan to end the migrant crisis and made a major deportation promise.
Speaking in Dover, the point where thousands of Channel crossing migrants arrive on British shores, Farage reaffirmed Reform's support for withdrawing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights and repealing the 1998 Human Rights Act.
"Frankly, the whole thing is pretty fruitless unless we leave the European Court of Human Rights and repeal the 1998 Human Rights Act," Farage said. "Every single week we see criminals, people who behave terribly, who ought to be deported, and they're not."
Farage also "recommitted" to having "no more population increase" due to net migration.
However, the Clacton MP opened the door to revisiting the issue over the number of Britons moving abroad in the wake of Rachel Reeves's decision to hike taxes.
In a major development, Farage promised to appoint a Deportations Minister if Reform wins the next General Election.
"We will demand this Government does the same," Farage added. "It will be part of the Home Office but it'll be a separate department within it."
The Reform UK leader pre-empted an exodus of civil servants and admitted he would need to ramp up Whitehall recruitment to get the right people in place to implement his deportation plan.
Discussing his deportation plan in more detail, Farage said: "We will bring a total end to all asylum claims from people who come here on travel visas or who are overseas students.
"We will demand the deportation of all foreign criminals. And for those who come to Britain and were granted citizenship, that'll be regarded as a legally binding contract."
The Reform UK leader also revealed more details will follow in three to four weeks' time.
Labour demands probe into Robert Jenrick after 'open leadership campaign'
Labour has demanded an investigation into Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick after accusing him of launching an open leadership campaign.
Speaking at Business Questions today, Commons Leader Lucy Powell raised concerns about a formal letter sent to an unknown number of Tory council candidates, offering his campaign help.
Powell called the letter “blatant manoeuvring” and in a pointed attack on the Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch, said “a strong leader would sack him”.
Using parliamentary stationery for explicit campaigning is a breach of parliamentary procedures.
A Labour spokesman said: “Robert Jenrick is openly campaigning for the leadership of the Conservative Party and we know what he wants to do as leader – stitch up a grubby backroom deal with Nigel Farage’s party.
"The nightmare of a Farage-Jenrick ticket would lead to an assault on workers’ rights, with patients at risk of having to pay to see their GP. All while fighting over the bones of the Tory Party.”

Nigel Farage claims doctors 'massively over-diagnosing' children with mental health conditions
Nigel Farage has claimed doctors have been "massively over-diagnosing" children with mental health conditions.
Speaking at a press conference today, the Reform UK leader said: "It’s a massive problem. I have to say, for my own money, when you get to 18 and you put somebody on a disability register, unemployed, with a high level of benefits, you’re telling people aged 18 that they’re that they’re victims. And if you are told you’re a victim, and you think you’re a victim, you are likely to stay [a victim].
"So many of these diagnoses, for Send before 18, for disability register after 18 – so many of these have been conducted on Zoom, with the family GP.
"I think that is a massive mistake. I think you’re the family GP, and I’ve know your family for generations, and you’re saying to me there’s a real problem here with depression, or whatever it may be, it’s quite hard for me as your GP to say no.
"I don’t think any of these allocations should be done by family GPs. I think should be done independently. And I think we are massively – I’m not being heartless, I’m being frank – I think we are massively over-diagnosing those with mental illness problems and those with other general behavioural disabilities. And I think we’re creating class of victims in Britain that will struggle ever to get out of it.
Nigel Farage rails against 'sectarian politics' as multi-culturalism row erupts
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has railed against "sectarian politics" after being asked if multi-culturalism is "dead".
He told reporters: "That's why we've got the growth of sectarian politics, that's why we've got people marching on the streets of London and the provocation against the Jewish community that took place in Southend last weekend.
"Had that been done against any other religious or racial group in this country the long arm of the law would have intervened very quickly and very heavily.
"I think what has changed is the national narrative. The narrative that multiculturalism is good... I think the realisation of what a huge error that was has been exposed."

Ex-Labour MP demands apology from Keir Starmer after being 'hounded out of party' over gender-critical views
Canterbury MP Rosie Duffield has demanded an apology from Sir Keir Starmer after quitting the party following a bust-up over her stance on trans issues.
Duffield, who quit Labour last September, told The Times: “He’s been asked about it for about four years just in terms of good politics. If I were him I’d just have done it and then no one gets to ask that question over and over and over again. But also it would be just quite nice and quite good manners.”
During a fiery exchange in Prime Minister's Questions yesterday, Tory leader Kemi Badenoch also demanded an apology on behalf of Duffield.
She said: “He cheered an ideology that denied safe spaces to women and girls because he thought it was cool to do so. He hounded a brave female MP out of his party for telling the truth he accepts now. And now he is hiding behind the Supreme Court judgment and isn’t that because he doesn’t know what he actually believes?”

Demonstrators wore T-shirts saying “not far-right”, with some holding up banners branding Swinney and Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar as "democracy deniers."
Reform UK councillor Thomas Kerr, who defected from the Tories, told reporters outside the summit venue: "What’s going on in this building behind us, though, is an affront to democracy.

“We will always stand with our allies and our commitment to global stability is unshakeable.”

Headphone-dodging commuters who play music out loud on trains should face £1,000 fines, Sir Keir Starmer has been told.
The Liberal Democrats have put pressure on the Prime Minister to crack down on the antisocial behaviour that disproportionately impacts train-travellers in major UK cities.
Sir Ed Davey's party is now seeking to amend the Bus Services Bill currently moving through Parliament, alongside a national campaign to shame “headphone dodgers” into stopping the practice.
The Liberal Democrats' Home Affairs spokeswoman Lisa Smart said: “Far too many people dread their daily commute because of the blight of antisocial behaviour — and headphone dodgers playing loud music on buses and trains are some of the worst offenders.
“Whether you're heading to work, taking your kids to school, or simply trying to enjoy a moment of peace, everyone deserves to feel safe and respected on public transport.
"Time and time again, I hear from people who say they feel too intimidated to speak up when someone is blasting music or other content from a phone or speaker.
"It's time to take a stand for the quiet majority who just want to get from A to B in peace."

“Let my message to the world go out: come and build the clean energy future in Britain.”
