Nigel Farage is on course to become prime minister at the next election, according to a major new poll.

Reform would have an outright majority of more than 50 seats if the next national vote was held today, the MRP poll of 5,000 people by PLMR and Electoral Calculus shows.

Its findings may send shockwaves through Labour and the Conservatives, who both hemorrhage seats to the right-wing party under the projection.

Labour is on course to lose almost 300 seats at the hands of voters deeply unhappy about its economic plans, going from 412 to 118.

And many are expected to swing directly to Reform, which is set to go from five MPs to 377.
