VOTERS think Nigel Farage would make a better prime minister than Sir Keir Starmer in more than half of constituencies, according to a new poll.

Reform UK’s leader beats Sir Keir in 335 seats compared to Sir Keir’s 291.

Tory Party leader Kemi Badenoch leads in just six.

Labour are set to lose twice as many seats to Reform as they are to the Conservatives, according to the survey by JL Partners for the Adam Smith Institute.

And one in five Labour 2024 voters are now considering Reform.

Mr Farage is also the preferred choice for PM in Labour vs Reform battleground seats.

Even the Brexit big beast thinks he can become prime minister, telling The Times Magazine yesterday: “There’s a good chance, yes.”

Asked on what odds, added: “About 35 to 45 per cent at the moment.”

Polling also showed that over half of Brits think Labour are anti-fun and anti-personal freedoms.

The research was commissioned ahead of government plans to ban smoking and disposable vapes.

Tum Lubbock, co-founder of JL Partners, said: “Keir Starmer is in a race for popularity with Nigel Farage and at the moment this data shows that Nigel Farage is the preferred choice for Prime Minister in more than half of constituencies vs the Prime Minister.

“That extends to 1 in 10 of those who actually voted Labour last year who now say that Nigel Farage would be a better PM than the man who actually holds that office – Keir Starmer.”

Maxwell Marlow, director of public affairs at ASI, said: “The government needs to start prioritising what really matters to people.

“The public understandably want the attention to be on reducing the cost of living or fixing public services like the NHS.

“This should be a wake up call for Starmer and co. Rather than acting like the anti-fun police, they should be laser-focused on delivering what they’ve repeatedly said is their number one mission: growth.

“If they don’t change course they’ve got no excuse for failing to understand why their voters are turning to parties like Reform UK, who at the very least will let people enjoy the little pleasures in life.”
