Nigel Farage's Reform UK overtook Britain's Labour government in a national opinion poll for the first time Monday evening, putting them in first place ahead of the main opposition Conservatives.
YouGov's poll, which surveyed 2,223 adults at the start of February, puts Reform UK on 25 percent support.
That's up two points from YouGov's previous poll. Labour are meanwhile down three points on 24 percent, with the Tories dropping a point to 21 percent support.
The polling is a long way out from a general election -- which does not need to take place until August 2029 -- and Reform's lead is within the margin of error. POLITICO's Poll of Polls has Labour and Reform level pegging at 25 percent each, with the Conservatives sitting on 22 percent.
What accounts for this shift?
It's impossible to say.
In completely, utterly unrelated news from the UK: a Muslim "asylum" seeking pedophile was repeatedly allowed to stay in the UK despite attempting to sext underage girls.
A Pakistani immigrant has been allowed to stay in Britain despite preying on "barely pubescent girls" when his wife would not have sex with him.
The paedophile, who has been granted anonymity for his own protection, was caught in August 2022 for messaging decoy children he believed were young girls online.
He was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting three counts of attempting to cause a child under 16 to engage in a sexual act.
He appealed his deportation order citing some kind of "human rights" claim. The jagoff cowards of the UK government of course granted his appeal and let him stay.
...
MH told the tribunal hearing that he began grooming the young girls online in March 2021, when his wife was in hospital with Covid.
He continued for the next year until digital paedophile hunters caught him and he was arrested.
The offender's wife, who regularly visited him in prison, said she felt "partly responsible" for his crimes because they were not having sex.
The anonymous judge overseeing the hearing said he accepted her "guilt" for failing to provide "intimate relations", which he felt would "detrimentally impact her ability to care for her children".
He also accepted that MH has a "genuine and subsisting relationship" with his two small children, aged three and four, with whom he was allowed up to 12 hours of supervised contact each day.
The judge ruled that deporting him from the country would be "unduly harsh", due to his family taking a "dim view" of his crimes, claiming the criminal would face "significant difficulties" in his home country.
Oh! I see. Pakistan would look dimly on his pedophilia, so he must be allowed to continue to chat up young girls in the UK.
Speaking to The Sun, shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick called this case "disgraceful".
We've often noted that many "asylum" seekers are just criminals whose "persecution" is by police attempting to arrest them for murder, rape, and crimes against children.
This is also completely unrelated to Reform's rise: "asylum" seekers are "loitering" outside of UK elementary schools, checking out the children.
Police say this is merely a difference in "cultural expectations."
Residents of Deanshanger in Northamptonshire have raised concerns about behaviour of migrants living in a hotel near primary school
There have been complaints of men 'hanging around' Deanshanger Primary School
Police have told migrants to adhere to "cultural expectations" following reports they were loitering outside a primary school.
Northamptonshire Police said it would "deliver some work" around "appropriate behaviours" following complaints of men "hanging around" near the school.
The force pledged to work with a hotel housing asylum seekers and step up patrols after the reports of "suspicious activity" in the village of Deanshanger.
Migrants have been staying in a hotel outside the village for around three years and are among thousands living in temporary accommodation across the country.
However, in recent months there has been increasing concern over young men loitering near Deanshanger Primary School, including claims of filming.
Following concerns, Sgt Lorna Clarke from the neighbourhood policing team issued an update to residents in which she confirmed the force had received "several calls" from people "concerned about males hanging around the primary school at drop-off and pick-up".
She said that there had been several posts on social media and WhatsApp and that she had personally spoken to those concerned and the school.
Sgt Clarke said that after speaking to people directly and having her officers "attend the hotel", they had not identified a risk to anyone and "there is no evidence to support that any offences had taken place".
She added: "While I fully appreciate the community's concerns, I ask that people don't take this matter into their own hands, but continue to speak to the police about any incidents they witness or any concerns they have. We are well linked in with the hotel and can deliver some work there around appropriate behaviours and different cultural expectations."
