Former Apprentice star Tre Lowe has hailed Reform UK’s surge to the top of national polling as “revolutionary”, saying it reflects growing public dissatisfaction with mainstream politics.
Speaking to GB News, Lowe said the party’s achievement in leading the polls was “quite extraordinary”, though he noted it remained uncertain whether such support would hold during a general election.
Reform UK has topped a national opinion poll for the first time, securing 26 per cent of voter support according to the latest Find Out Now survey.
The poll, conducted on Wednesday, placed Nigel Farage’s party three points ahead of the Conservatives at 23 per cent.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Former Apprentice star Tre Lowe told GB News: “I think this is revolutionary. Topping polls is quite extraordinary. It’s crazy whether it would manifest in a general election, we don’t know because people tend to be like this in between votes.
“But I mean, it does say a lot. Reform UK’s got a couple of real great policies and things.
“More defence spending, immigration controls which is a hot topic. I mean, the only things that haven’t been tested could be a Liz Truss moment, that’s one of the main criticisms that no one’s really tested their actual policies.
“It does point to the fact that I think people are disaffected. They’re fed up.

“They think what’s the difference? I think that it might be a good thing now, because politicians are going to have to start looking at what the people want.
“You’ve seen it with Donald Trump, whether you like them or not. Suddenly you’re going to have to start looking at, well, what do people want as opposed to the perception that people have of politicians that they don’t really care about the ordinary person, they’re more bothered about the billionaire class, whereas now they might have to start really looking at what do people want.
“Maybe it is immigration and reducing waiting lists that we spoke about earlier, which is another key thing for Reform.”
Reform UK chairman Zia Yusuf issued a defiant statement on social media, declaring: “No pacts, no deals. Reform is headed for Government.”

Party leader Nigel Farage celebrated the milestone, stating: “Reform LEADS for the first time in a national opinion poll. This is just the beginning.”
Reform MP Rupert Lowe expressed confidence in the party’s future electoral prospects, saying: “Reform now in the clear, leading a national opinion poll. I am more confident than ever that we will outright win the next general election – it is going to happen. It cannot come soon enough.”
The Conservatives have dismissed the polling shift, with a spokesman for Kemi Badenoch telling GB News: “Polls go up and down and change every week.”
Labour accused their rivals of “fighting among themselves” while highlighting their own focus on delivering change.
