Sir Keir Starmer's popularity is plummetting (Image: Getty)
The next general election will take place no later than August 15, 2029 but Nigel Farage expects it to come far sooner. The Reform UK leader is set to tell his party to prepare for power as soon as 2027 during his annual conference in Birmingham.
A petition calling for an "immediate general election", organised by Nicola Cree, amassed just over 875,000 signatures on Friday, September 5, which grew to over 882,000 by Tuesday, September 9. This means Parliament will now consider the petition for a debate as it surpasses the 100,000 signature threshold. In response, the government said: "This Government was elected on a mandate of change at the July 2024 general election. Our full focus is on fixing the foundations, rebuilding Britain, and restoring public confidence in government."

Nigel Farage has topped the polls for months and he now believes there could be a Government change by 2027. The Clapton MP highlighted the rising borrowing costs being forced on Labour by sceptical financial markets.

Nigel Farage believes his party could come to power by 2027 (Image: Getty)
"I was with a couple of big Wall Street guys last night and confidence in the UK is ebbing. If I'm right about the temptation of the Left for many Labour MPs, they may well struggle to get through another couple of years. I shall tell the conference: be ready for an election in 2027."
It comes after former Boris Johnson ally and cabinet minister Nadine Dorries defected to Reform UK. The former Culture Secretary declared "the Tory Party is dead" and "members now need to think the unthinkable".
The move comes as a blow to Kemi Badenoch who is already under huge pressure with her party sinking below 20% in the polls. The Conservatives and Labour are picking up roughly the same percentage combined as Reform.
