Nightmare for Keir Starmer as Reform launches bombshell new plan to storm Labour heartland

has revealed a new "common sense plan" outlined by its deputy leader, Richard Tice, to win over the blanket of Labour votes in the north.

This announcement follows the shocking new poll showing that 28% of voters had a very or quite positive view of Reform UK, whereas only 27% felt the same way about Labour.

This puts public support of the party, with only five MPs, ahead of the Government. "We at Reform will destroy them at the polls and we will take dozens of labour heartland seats," says Richard Tice, speaking on the next General Election in 2029.

The poll conducted by JL Partners on October 11 to 13 also shows that Nigel Farage, Reform UK's leader, is a whopping three points more popular than the Prime Minister.

Farage won more than 27% of the people asked compared to Sir Keir Starmer's 24%. Speaking to Express.co.uk, Tice says how "just five of us have made such noise and [are] such a threat to them".

Reform UK made a dramatic statement at the 2024 General Election, winning over 4 million votes. Yet, due to the First Past the Post system, the party returned with just five seats.

The MPs are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson, Rupert Lowe and James McMurdock. Speaking to GB News this morning, the party's deputy leader laid out his simple plan to secure a bigger win at the next election.

"It's very simple. Our policies are common sense," says the Reform MP.

Tice says his policies send a simple message of "patriotism" to current Labour voters, and they will target "pubs and clubs up and down the country".

Labour's heartland is already warming to this approach as Reform UK hone in on the closure of blast furnaces in Lincolnshire.

"This Labour Government must not dare to entertain the closure of the last UK blast furnace in Scunthorpe," says Tice.

He adds: "We will be completely uncompetitive if they close them."

The Reform MP held a debate in Westminster hall to hold the Government to account after British Steel brought forward the closures. They instead wish to replace them with an electric arc furnace (EAF) as part of its decarbonisation plans.

This move is putting over 2,000 jobs at risk in the current Labour seat.
