Live coverage of the 2024 General Election: New Survation poll suggests Tories may only secure 72 seats in upcoming Parliament


Nigel Farage Teases Leader of the Opposition Credentials as He Makes Tory Party Declaration

Nigel Farage, the former leader of the Brexit Party, is making waves once again as he teases his credentials as a potential leader of the opposition. In a bold move, Farage has declared that his party, Reform UK, is the “new opposition” following a recent YouGov poll that placed his party ahead of the Conservatives for the first time.

This declaration comes at a crucial time for the Tories, as a new poll suggests disaster ahead for Chancellor Rishi Sunak and his party. According to a Survation poll for Best for Britain, published by The Sunday Times, the Tories are on track to win just 72 seats in the next election, while Labour is predicted to win as many as 456 seats, surpassing Tony Blair’s landslide victory in 1997.

In the midst of this political turmoil, Labour and Farage have accused the Tories of a ‘con’ over plans to send more migrants to Rwanda during the election campaign. The Independent has learned that plans are in place to fly individuals from Nigeria and Pakistan, who are in the UK illegally, to Rwanda before the election on July 4. However, this move is voluntary and not an enforced deportation.

Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has criticized Farage, calling him “incredibly divisive” and accusing him of trying to “destroy” the Conservative Party. With tensions running high and the election looming, the political landscape in the UK is more uncertain than ever.

As the battle for power intensifies, all eyes are on Farage and his bold claim to be the new opposition. Will he be able to shake up the status quo and lead his party to victory, or will the traditional parties maintain their stronghold on British politics? Only time will tell as the countdown to the next election continues.
