"Even if you look at that word salad yesterday, immigration was clearly not something he seems to care about."We have had enormous population growth to the point it's been a population explosion."
The party's rise follows recent record-breaking immigration figures and growing dissatisfaction with both major parties.The Find Out Now poll, conducted on December 4, placed the Conservatives in first place with 26 per cent of public support.
Reform UK secured 24 per cent, marking a two percentage point increase since late November.
Labour, who achieved a historic landslide just five months ago, dropped to third place with 23 per cent.
The polling methodology differs from other companies, as explained by Find Out Now head of research Tyron Surmon, who noted they explicitly ask about voting intention.
Labour voters showed less commitment to voting, with only 84 per cent saying they would "definitely" or "very likely" vote in an election.This contrasts with 95 per cent of Conservative voters and 90 per cent of Reform UK supporters who expressed strong voting intentions.
A separate poll by More in Common showed Reform gaining three points after the release of immigration statistics, putting them at 21 per cent.
His optimism echoes Nigel Farage's recent speech at the Spectator's annual awards, where the Reform UK leader declared: "We are about to witness a political revolution, the likes of which we have not seen since Labour after the First World War."
Farage predicted "hundreds of newcomers under the Reform UK label" would enter Parliament at the next election.
