Reform UK are "within reach" of taking the lead in a national poll as Nigel Farage's populist party cut Labour’s lead to just six per cent in a shock opinion.

The Party just needs two points from Labour and the Tories to draw level.

The change marks a huge change since July 4, with Labour down by seven-points and the Conservatives up by around three per cent.

According to the More in Common’s poll, Labour ended up level with the Tory Party on 27 per cent.

While Reform UK has soared to 21 per cent.

Former Ukip donor, Arron Banks shared the results on social media and said: "Leading a national poll is within reach for Reform".

Inputting the data on Electoral Calculus paints a stark picture for Labour after Starmer won with a 170-strong majority, giving the Prime Minister the parliamentary manpower to push ahead with a number of controversial policies.

Cabinet minister 'absolutely ready to engage' with Elon Musk as Government insists it has 'good engagement' with 'some' tech tycoons​


Peter Kyle MP\u200b

Technology Secretary Peter Kyle has said Elon Musk, who was criticised by Downing Street for his social media posts regarding the summer riots, was not invited to the international investment summit because "he doesn’t tend to do these sort of events".

The Tesla CEO suggested a civil war was "inevitable" in Britain in the wake of widespread disorder following the Southport stabbing.

Asked whether the Government should have invited Musk, Kyle told Times Radio: "Let me just send my very best to him on the safe landing of the booster rocket yesterday, it was a stunning achievement and I did watch slack-jawed at the staggering achievement that that represented.

"Elon Musk has never come to any of the past investment summits that have been held under the previous government, he doesn’t tend to do these sort of events, but I stand absolutely ready to engage with him, to talk about any potential global investments he’s making – I’m not aware of any at this moment in time."

Starmer to pledge to scrap regulation to woo investors at business summit​

Sir Keir Starmer will pledge to scrap regulation that “needlessly holds back investment” at a major business conference today.

The Government is expected to unveil investment deals worth billions in AI, life sciences and infrastructure at its first International Investment Summit.

A row over criticism of P&O Ferries that reportedly jeopardised a £1 billion investment by its Dubai-based owner DP World has been smoothed over, with the company saying it will attend the conference.

The Government is eager to show it is making progress on its mission to deliver economic growth after marking 100 days in office and ahead of the Chancellor’s first Budget on October 30.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has warned of “tough decisions” at the spending review as Labour says it needs to plug a £22 billion “black hole” in the public finances left by the Conservatives.

The Government says that international investment will help with its goals to create jobs, improve living standards, and make communities and families across the country better off.
