Nearly a quarter of voters who backed the Tories at the last general election now support Reform UK, new polling shows.

The survey found 24% of those who voted Conservative in 2019 have switched to the Nigel Farage-linked party in what the polling company said was a record high.

Just 42% said they would back the Tories again marking the joint-lowest since Rishi Sunak became PM.

Meanwhile, 18% said they would vote for Labour and 7% opted for other parties.
