Nigel Farage says it is inevitable that Keir Starmer is going to get a majority in the General Election, leading to the formation of a Labour Government. The Reform UK leader adds that his ambition is 'to become the opposition voice'.
READ MORE: Rishi Sunak tried to calm panicky Tories today after a poll showed a 'crossover' moment with Reform leapfrogging the party.
The first past the post system means that new parties often gain a spread of votes across the country - but support is not concentrated enough to win constituencies. Although it is just one survey and had been widely anticipated, the YouGov figures have fueled anxiety within Conservative circles about the campaign.
'So if you want action on lower taxes, lower migration, protected pensions or a sensible approach to net zero you're only going to get that by voting Conservative.' 'So actually, when people sit down especially now this week when everyone can see very clearly the difference in approach from the two parties, I think that choice will crystallise for people between now and polling day. We're only halfway through.'
'The Labour party consistently can't tell you which taxes they're going to put up but they are going to put them up and as we saw yesterday, they're going to raise the tax burden to the highest level in this country's history. And that's the choice for everyone at the election.''Back in 2015 when I led Ukip into a general election, we got 4million votes and one seat – never before had anybody got so many votes for so little reward,' he said.
'And my message is very simple – that Starmer is going to have a very big majority, I don't think he has much of a plan, his six priorities didn't even mention legal migration which is a huge issue, so I want us to become the opposition voice in Parliament and in the country. That's the ambition.' At a press conference this morning, Treasury minister Laura Trott tried to renew the attack, saying Labour had 'deliberately failed to rule out 18 potential tax rises'.'Not including planned tax increases in manifestos is standard practice for Labour… We don't want Labour to get away with it this time.
The YouGov poll has taken attention away from the Tories' efforts to nail Labour over tax plans after Sir Keir unveiled his manifesto yesterday
