Reform UK Faces Declining Polls and Internal Strife After Birmingham Rally

Nigel Farage's NHS funding stance and party divisions overshadow Reform UK's local election campaign launch.

  • Reform UK's Birmingham rally, touted as the 'biggest-ever launch rally,' fell short of expectations with visible empty seats and subdued energy.
  • Labour intensified attacks on Nigel Farage's NHS funding proposals, accusing him of favoring a US-style insurance-based healthcare system.
  • Recent polling shows Reform UK dropping to third place behind Labour and the Conservatives, reversing months of momentum.
  • Internal divisions persist, with the suspension of MP Rupert Lowe over alleged misconduct and criticism of Farage's leadership style.
  • Farage's approval ratings have slipped into negative territory, raising questions about the party's ability to maintain its support ahead of the May elections.
