Reform’s deputy leader claimed the party will eventually “take over” the Conservatives after a poll put Nigel Farage’s team ahead of the Tories for the first time. 

David Bull said the Tories were “imploding” while Reform was focused on winning seats at the general election on July 4. 

A YouGov survey published last night put Reform on 19 per cent of the vote and in second place, one point ahead of the Tories in third on 18 per cent. Labour was in first place on 37 per cent. 

Mr Bull told GB News: “The Tories are imploding. As you know, it is not one group. There are five, six different disparate groups, whether it is the ERG, the common sense group, for example, the Conservative growth group. 

“There are all these different groups and they are all fighting. So we are focused on what we as Reform can do. 

“So we are determined to win those seats and as we grow and as we build, and remember this is a six year project, then we will take over the Tory Party.”
