A set of mayoral voting intention polls have forecast Reform UK to snatch three mayoral election races in a major boost to Nigel Farage.
Farage, who already predicted a good set of results in Greater Lincolnshire and Hull & East Yorkshire, looks poised to win both contests.
However, in a surprise twist, Arron Banks could also soon emerge victorious in a knife-edge contest in the West of England.
The ex-Leave.EU donor, who is a close ally of Farage, opened up a one-point lead over the Greens, research conducted by Find Out Now has revealed.
In a hammer blow to Sir Keir Starmer, Labour could lose all four contests – with former Tory MP Paul Bristow being handed a nine per cent advantage over Reform UK in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
