Labour MPs set up group to focus on Reform UK threat Dozens of Labour MPs have set up an internal group to focus on the threat posed by Reform UK, it has emerged after Nigel Farage’s party topped another national poll.
Reform returned just five MPs at the election last year but came second place in 98 constituencies at the election last year, including 89 Labour seats.
Reform also topped a YouGov poll this week at 25%, with Labour on 24% and the Conservatives at 21%, though its one-point lead is well within the margin of error.
Labour MPs are rightly concerned about Nigel Farage’s plans to make people pay to access NHS services and will carry on taking the fight to them and other opposition parties in parliament and at the ballot box.”.
It is understood the aim of the group is to identify ways to better promote Labour’s work on areas like migration and crime amid concerns in some quarters that the Government’s political messaging is not cutting through.
