Shift in British politics as support for Labour plummets and Reform UK's popularity rises
The UK Labour Party is in a fight for survival, with its popularity plummeting in the one year since it took power. Reform UK — led by Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage — is the electorate's top choice with over 30% of support, marking a historic shift in British politics. Founded in its current form in 2021, Reform brands itself as an alternative to the traditional parties and is particularly focused on anti-immigration. With the next national election due at the latest in 2029, analysts said predictions of Reform leading the next government might be premature. Stuart Smith reports from London.
