Last week a national opinion poll put Reform UK ahead of the Conservatives for the first time. We are now beating the Tories in the "Red Wall" seats that, with my help, gave Boris Johnson his big majority last time around.
The establishment parties are panicking about the rise of Reform, and trying to stop us by spreading familiar falsehoods and slurs. So, let me tell Standard readers what is really happening.
This election is over. The question now is, who can lead an effective opposition to Labour over the next five years?
Rishi Sunak's Tories have already lost the election. After 14 years in government, marked by broken promises and betrayals under five successive Tory prime ministers, the message we hear on the doorsteps of Britain is that voters have just had enough of them.
The Conservatives have nobody to blame but themselves for their demise. They have failed to stop mass migration, failed to reduce taxation, failed to raise living standards or get woke indoctrination out of our schools. What is "conservative" about anything they have done?
Now the desperate Tories trot out the tired argument that a vote for Reform is a wasted vote which would ensure a big Labour majority and so hand Keir Starmer a "blank cheque" in government.
