Nigel Farage's ratings plummet to lowest level since the general election amid finances row - while Reform UK's popularity also sinks

Nigel Farage's approval ratings have hit a new low since the general election, now at a -27 rating, according to an Opinium survey. This significant drop is largely attributed to a financial controversy surrounding his party, Reform UK, which is also seeing its popularity decline. The findings suggest growing disapproval from voters, with only a quarter showing support for Farage. This shift matters because it indicates a potential weakening of Farage's influence and the party's standing in the political landscape.
