Zia Yusuf, Chairman of Reform UK speaking during the Reform UK East of England conference at Chelmsford City Racecourse, January 4, 2025
REFORM UK will win a landslide victory at the next general election, party chairman Zia Yusuf claimed today.
He predicted that Reform could win between 350 and 400 MPs after topping a YouGov voter-intention poll for the first time this week.
The hard-right party returned five MPs in July’s general election and came second in 98 constituencies.
But the YouGov poll, which found 25 per cent support for Reform, 24 per cent for Labour and 21 per cent for the Tories, is the latest in a series of polls suggesting that Reform has pulled level with the Conservatives in public opinion.
Mr Yusuf also said that he did “understand” any potential concerns over the prospect of his party accepting a donation from far-right tech billionaire Elon Musk.
Reform leader Nigel Farage met the leading ally of US President Donald Trump in December.
Rules barring foreign funding of political parties mean that Tesla owner Mr Musk could only funnel any donation through one of his British-based businesses.
