The reeling in of Reform: Nigel Farage sees poll lead halved in a week amid infighting and backing for benefits splurge
YouGov research put Nigel Farage 's insurgents on 27 per cent - down two points from last week.
Meanwhile, Labour clawed back a point to 24 per cent, meaning Reform's advantage has halved.
The Tories were stuck on just 17 per cent with the Lib Dems on 15 per cent and the Greens 10 per cent.
Evidence has been mounting that the sheen is coming off Mr Farage's party following an extraordinary rise in popularity.
At the end of May Reform was eight points ahead according to YouGov.
The reasons remain unclear, although Reform has come under heavy fire for backing an end to the two-child benefit cap and unrealistic tax and spending plans.
There has been a chaotic bout of infighting that saw chairman Zia Yusuf initially quit swiping it was not worth his time trying to get the party elected.
He U-turned on the resignation soon afterwards, but Mr Farage replaced him as chairman with David Bull.
Critics have pounced on mixed messages about whether the Burka should be banned and the death penalty restored.
Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has shifted strategy to mount full-frontal attacks on Mr Farage and his policies, rather than trying to ignore his political threat.
Dramatic local election results last month caused panic in Labour circles.
Reform seized 10 councils, two mayoralties and the Parliamentary seat of Runcorn in a by-election.

Asylum seekers set to be removed from Essex hotel as council granted injunction
Asylum seekers are set to be removed from an Essex hotel after a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking them from being housed there. Epping Forest District Council had asked a judge to issue an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated at the Bell Hotel in Epping. The injunction sought by the council meant the hotel's owner, Somani Hotels Limited, would have had to stop housing asylum seekers there within 14 days. The hotel has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. In a ruling on Tuesday, Mr Justice Eyre granted the temporary injunction, but extended the time limit by which the hotel must stop housing asylum seekers to September 12. Several protests and counter-protests have been held in the town since a then-resident at the hotel was accused of trying to kiss a teenage girl. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu has denied charges against him and is due to stand trial later this month. A second man who resides at the hotel, Syrian national Mohammed Sharwarq, has separately been charged with seven offences, while several other men have been charged over disorder outside the hotel. The council said last week it was seeking an injunction due to 'unprecedented levels of protest and disruption' in connection with asylum seeker accommodation. Chris Whitbread, leader of the council, said the situation 'cannot go on' but the Government 'is not listening'. At a hearing on Friday, barristers for the council said that the site's 'sole lawful use' was as a hotel and that Somani Hotels had breached planning rules by using it to house asylum seekers. Philip Coppel KC, for the authority, said the situation was 'wholly unacceptable' and provided a 'feeding ground for unrest'. He said: 'There has been what can be described as an increase in community tension, the catalyst of which has been the use of the Bell Hotel to place asylum seekers.' Mr Coppel continued: 'It is not the asylum seekers who are acting unlawfully. It is the defendant, by allowing the hotel to be used to house asylum seekers.' He added: 'It really could not be much worse than this.' Piers Riley-Smith, for Somani Hotels, said that 'disagreement with Government policy' did not justify a 'draconian' injunction and that there would be 'hardship' caused to the company and those housed at the hotel. He also said that contracts to house asylum seekers were a 'financial lifeline' for the hotel, which was only 1% full in August 2022, when it was open to paying customers. Mr Riley-Smith said: 'It is clear that recent protests have expanded far beyond the local community and have gone into concerns about wider ideological and political issues from those outside the community. 'Those particular ideological, non-community concerns are not relevant to planning.'

Asylum seekers will be moved out of protest-hit hotel after ban
Epping Forest District Council successfully secured a High Court injunction to prevent The Bell Hotel in Epping from housing asylum seekers. Mr Justice Eyre ruled in favour of the council, ordering that asylum seekers must be moved out of the hotel by 12 September. The Home Secretary's last-ditch attempt to block the injunction was dismissed by the judge, despite warnings of similar applications from other councils. The council argued that the hotel's use was a "very serious problem" and a "danger to school-age students" due to violent protests and alleged sexual assaults at the site. Somani Hotels Limited, the defendant, plans to appeal the decision, while the Home Office highlighted the acute shortage of asylum accommodation.

UK at ‘tipping point' as millionaires consider moving abroad over wealth tax fears
Some 60 per cent of British millionaires believe they could have a better life abroad, a new survey has revealed. More than half of all the 1,000 wealthy respondents also said they are more likely to consider leaving the UK if Rachel Reeves introduces a wealth tax. The CEO of Arton Capital, the consultancy that commissioned the survey, said the findings show the country is 'at a tipping point', as the chancellor revealed plans for a new homes levy that is already drawing backlash. Armand Arton said: 'The uncertainty around the government's proposed wealth tax mirrors the ongoing economic uncertainty seen around the world – from Trump's tariffs to conflict in the Middle East, it seems clear that the world is becoming less and less certain. 'There are many repercussions of the introduction of a levy, but one thing is clear: the longer that unpredictability persists, the greater the risk of losing capital, talent, and long-term investment to countries that offer greater security for individuals, families, and their futures.' Meanwhile, nearly half (47 per cent) of the surveyed millionaire Labour voters stated that they would be more likely to leave the country should a wealth tax be introduced. The new data comes as the chancellor is under growing pressure to introduce more wealth-based taxes. Labour's deputy leader, Angela Rayner, has already urged Ms Reeves to consider measures that target property wealth, and Ms Reeves is under pressure to raise revenue without breaking Labour's pledge not to increase taxes on working people. Cabinet ministers have so far rejected calls for a wealth tax, although Ms Reeves has not yet publicly ruled out a version of the measure. And on Tuesday, it was revealed that homeowners could be forced to pay a new tax on the sale of houses worth more than £500,000 as part of a shake-up of stamp duty and council tax being considered by the Treasury. It comes after Ms Reeves announced a tax on non-domiciled individuals' inheritance tax based on their global assets. The Arton Capital Affluence and Elections Survey, which was conducted by Walr, polled 1,009 UK residents aged 18 to 70 with a net worth of at least £1 million between 31 July and 8 August 2025. When asked which countries they would be most interested in relocating to, the US (35 per cent) topped the rankings among wealthy Brits, with Canada (33 per cent) coming second, and Australia (25 per cent) securing third place, while the United Arab Emirates (UAE) came in fourth (17 per cent). In June, it was estimated that 142,000 millionaires were set to relocate to a new country this year, with the UK expected to lose a record 16,500 in the 12 months from June, according to the Henley Private Wealth Migration Report. With a decade of poor economic performance and sweeping tax reforms introduced by the Conservative and Labour governments, affluent individuals are seeking tax-friendly jurisdictions like the UAE, Monaco and Malta. There are upsides for Ms Reeves though, with two-thirds of British millionaires still viewing the UK as an attractive place to invest when compared to other countries, according to Arton Capital's research. Possibly buoyed by the country's historic status as a financial powerhouse, the company said its data indicates that many affluent voters remain confident about the prospect of financial returns on their British investments.
