       The poll of 2,000 British adults conducted on March 24 put Reform in third place overall with 14% of the vote share.

       Richard Tice's party is just eight points behind the Conservatives who are on 22%.

       Labour are 20 points clear in the lead with 42%, while the Lib Dems are on 12%.

       It comes after Reform gained its first MP with Lee Anderson's defection earlier this month.

       The Ashfield MP, a high-profile figure in the northern Red Wall, dramatically switched to the populist party after losing the Tory whip in an Islamophobia row.
