Nigel Farage has received the highest grade from the public (Image: Getty)
Voters see Nigel Farage as the “Prime Minister in waiting”, Reform UK claimed after the public gave him a higher grade for his performance than any of the other major party leaders. The public gave Mr Farage a “B” when asked how he has fared – compared with a “C-” for Labour’s Sir Keir Starmer and the Liberal Democrats’ Sir Ed Davey, and a “D” for the Conservatives’ Kemi Badenoch.
When asked to name which UK politician has done the best job over the past year, 13% said Mr Farage – with just 6% naming Sir Keir. The Labour leader came ahead of former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Health Secretary Wes Streeting who were both backed by 3% in the polling commissioned by Tory peer Lord Ashcroft.

Only one in fifty voters thought the UK has a great deal of influence in determining world events.
Lord Ashcroft’s polling comes as YouGov reports that just one in eight (13%) Britons approve of the Government’s record to date with two-thirds (67%) disapproving.
The net approval score of -54 is “the joint-lowest Keir Starmer’s government has ever received”.
