Farage cries foul after Reform slips to a tie with the Tories

Reform UK has slipped into a tie with the Conservatives, prompting leader Nigel Farage to publicly question the pollsters’ methodology. Farage’s team plans to remind voters why the party delivered such a heavy defeat to the Tories in 2024, framing the shift as a polling artifact rather than a genuine loss of momentum. The tie matters because it signals that Reform’s insurgent appeal may be plateauing just as the Conservatives attempt to regroup. Watch for further polling releases and any response from the Conservative camp to see whether the deadlock holds or breaks.
