More than half of the UK public thinks Reform UK leader Nigel Farage would make a bad or terrible prime minister, according to a new poll.
A YouGov survey found 55 per cent of Britons thought Mr Farage would make a bad (12 per cent) or terrible prime minister (43 per cent) a day after he unveiled his party’s manifesto.
Only 27 per cent thought he would make a great (nine per cent) or good (18 per cent) leader, with 65 per cent saying they did not believe Mr Farage would become prime minister in the next ten years.
It comes as the Reform UK leader said he was pursuing legal action against the vetting company hired by Reform UK after it failed to run background checks on its candidates in time for the general election.
Vetting.com denied claims by Mr Farage of a “stitch up” over chair Colin Bloom’s past links to the Tory party, saying it simply did not have time to scrutinise all 609 of Reform’s candidates before the snap summer poll.
