The Daily T

A major new YouGov poll has revealed that Reform UK would win the most seats of any party if a general election were held today, making Nigel Farage the leading contender to become the next prime minister. Camilla and Tim are joined by journalist and broadcaster Fraser Nelson, who is fronting a new 'Dispatches' documentary – "Will Nigel Farage Be Prime Minister?" – at 8pm tonight on Channel 4. Fraser explains why Farage has been so effective at mopping up disillusioned voters; his masterful use of social media; and how Labour and the Tories have paved the way for a Reform political earthquake.

Almost one year in, and are the wheels falling off for Labour? Angela Rayner has confirmed that the vote on Labour’s hugely controversial welfare reforms will go ahead as planned next Tuesday – despite rumours that the Government were ready to pull the bill with the number of rebels ready to vote it down already exceeding 120. Camilla and Tim ask if the PM’s days will be numbered if he loses the vote, and with Kemi Badenoch promising to help the bill pass in exchange for meeting a series of demands – has she finally played something of a blinder? Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim find out what voters really think of issues like welfare and the NHS with polling guru Professor Sir John Curtice. We want to hear from you!
