Reform UK has hit its joint-highest level of support in a new poll after the local elections. The YouGov survey puts Nigel Farage’s insurgent party on 29%, up three points from the week before.

Labour is seven points behind on 22%, down one point, while the Tories are down three on 17%. It is the joint-highest vote share for Reform in polling to date after the party hit 29% in a Find Out Now survey last week.

The YouGov poll puts the Lib Dems up one point on 16%, while the Greens are also up one on 10%.

It comes after Reform took control 10 councils and more than 600 seats in last Thursday's local elections.

The party also gained an MP in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election and won two mayoral contests.

Reform leader Mr Farage hailed the results as the end of two-party politics.

Squeezed between Reform and the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives lost more than 600 councillors and all 15 of the councils it controlled going into the election.

Meanwhile, panicked Labour figures called on Sir Keir Starmer to change course after Reform's sweeping gains.
