It says:
Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage were the only positively viewed politicians among GB News viewers. They trusted Labour more on the cost of living, the. NHS and Housing, while they still backed the Conservatives on foreign affairs, woke culture, Brexit, criminal justice, inflation, and migration. On the question of growing the economy, Labour have overtaken the Conservatives since the April poll.

Hope Not Hate have been quick out the blocks to send out a fundraising appeal off the back of the announcement that Nigel Farage is to stand in Clacton.
In the email they said:
It’s official. Nigel Farage is running to be Clacton’s next MP. This is bad news. In his typical pattern of dishonesty and opportunism, Farage has left it to the last minute to announce he’s standing in Clacton. He doesn’t know the area or the issues in Clacton, he just wants to finally achieve his aim of being an MP.
He is the best known and most popular figure of Reform UK – sorry Tice and Anderson! And we expect this announcement will boost Reform UK and their hateful views, not just in Clacton but around the country. Reform UK has just had a significant boost and we need to rally to stop them gaining seats across the country.
Nigel Farage gets a little testy when someone asks him why he has held this event in London than in the constituency he is going to stand for. “Is this proof that you care more about the London media than you do but your future constituents.”
“Are you coming to Clacton at 12 o’clock tomorrow?” he barks at her.
“Why do it here in London? Because this is where you all are. And you hate leaving your little bubble,” he says to the media, then quickly says “I don’t mean that. You’re very welcome to come to Clacton tomorrow. There’s a very good Wetherspoons.”
Nigel Farage was asked by Christopher Hope of GB News about his previous failures to get elected as an MP. He said he only “stood once in earnest”
He said:
I did stand that one time. I did lose. I don’t mind losing. But when they cheat so much so that one of the party agents gets a nine month prison sentence, you can perhaps understand why I’m not that friendly with the Tory party.
Farage backs electoral reform, and said “if we get a massive, massive vote, and a relatively small number of seats, then the call for reform will be there.”
He said:
I think there is every chance we get more votes than the Conservative party. I genuinely do, and you can all hold me to that and a few weeks time. But I genuinely believe we can get more votes in this election than the Conservative party. They are on the verge of total collapse, and it couldn’t happen, frankly, to nicer people.
Nigel Farage has said that he will stand for election in Clacton, and that he is taking over leadership of Reform UK, and he intends to “lead a political revolt” and “a turning of our backs on the political status quo.”
He told the audience at a Reform UK event in London:
Nothing in this country works anymore. The health service doesn’t work. The roads don’t work. None of our public services are up to scratch. We are in decline. This will only be turned around with boldness.
We’re very, very much on the side of that little guy or woman. We’re very much on the side of growth. We’re very much on the side of ending the poisoning of our education system, where 50% of young people don’t even know what D-day is.
So make no mistake. We are unashamedly patriotic. We believe that it’s right to put the interests of British people first. We believe Brexit needs to be implemented properly. And we are going to be the voice of opposition. And I tell you what, I’ve done it before. I’ll do it again. I will surprise everybody.
He said their ambition is to be the opposition in this parliament and the largest party by 2029.
