A British polling firm has found that Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party has reached a three-month high in support, following the release of bodycam footage that shows the murder and wrongful arrest of an 18-year-old white student.
Find Out Now reported on Thursday that its survey of approximately 3,000 adults revealed Reform UK leads with 27 percent support. The Conservative Party and the Greens tied for second at 17 percent each, while Labour holds 15 percent and the Liberal Democrats have 11 percent.
The poll shows a rise in Reform UK’s support compared to prior months, with the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats both experiencing declines. The survey was conducted between Wednesday and Thursday.
The increase coincides with the release of bodycam footage from the Southampton incident involving Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student who was stabbed to death by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa using an eight-inch Sikh religious dagger. Digwa and his family falsely accused Nowak of racial abuse.
According to the footage, when police arrived at the scene, Nowak repeatedly stated he had been stabbed but officers dismissed his pleas for assistance and handcuffed him shortly before he died.
Nigel Farage has described the public’s reaction to such incidents as “pure, cold rage.”
