YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“Looking at Reform UK particularly, the big gains are almost certainly baked in because they’re starting from such a low base.”
Pollster Steve Akehurst tells Times Radio that Reform UK’s expected local election gains risk giving a “misleading” picture of their true support, as the party is effectively starting from zero in many areas.
Steve Akherst was speaking to Hugo Rifkind on Times Radio. Listen live every Monday-Thursday from 10am-1pm.
