BRITS have backed Nigel Farage as the most favourable leading politician pulling ahead of his frontline rivals, polling shows. The Reform UK chief recorded a 31 per cent favourability rating giving him a big advantage of Sir Keir Starmer. But some 46 per cent say they have an unfavourable opinion of Mr Farage - giving him a net score of minus 15 points.

But the public overall has a negative view of leading politicians and parties, the survey reveals. The figures from the Ipsos show that Sir Keir Starmer holds a net favourability rating of minus 34 points. Just over a fifth, some 21 per cent, give him a favourable record some seven months into his job as Prime Minister - but 55 per cent give the opposite view.
