Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is heading the betting to become the next British Prime Minister, according to Labrokes\u2019 latest political betting odds.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The odds on Farage have shortened to 5\/2, while new Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch is second favourite with odds of 3\/1.<\/p>\n

The odds on Farage have shortened following a Find Out Now poll found that Reform UK has 24 per cent electorate support, only two-points behind the Tories and one-point ahead of Labour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since coming to government, far left Labour\u2019s popularity has nosedived in the wake of a raft of broken campaign promises and downright horrendous policies including imprisoning people for social media posts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Farage has also just received a massive injection of investment from billionaire property developer, Nick Candy, who vowed to \u201craise Reform more money than any political party in the UK has ever raised.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNigel will be the next PM,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Candy added, urging \u201cI wouldn\u2019t be doing this if I wasn\u2019t 100 per cent certain of that.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Several former Conservative Party MPs have also recently defected to Reform.<\/p>\n

Reform revived a sizeable chunk of votes, over four million, in the UK general election in July but only secured five parliamentary seats owing to the first past the post system.<\/p>\n

One in seven people voted Reform<\/a>, yet the party ended up with 67 fewer seats than the Liberal Democrats, who received around two percent fewer votes.<\/p>\n

In recent days, there have also been rumours that Elon Musk is interested in boosting Reform UK with a gargantuan cash injection.<\/p>\n

Musk has denied the rumours but got people talking again when he replied to the above tweet by Farage:<\/p>\n

The first step is the English County Council elections on May 1st 2025. Britain Needs Reform.<\/p>\n

Candy has also claimed that he and Musk are \u201cmessaging\u201d each other about Reform UK and Farage, with Candy noting \u00a0\u201cIf Elon wants to give it\u2026 then of course Reform would be very interested in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farage himself commented \u201cElon Musk is very supportive of what Reform is trying to do, supportive of me personally. And we\u2019ve got the connections with him, and Nick\u2019s got good connections with him as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s giving us political support,\u201d Farage continued, clarifying that \u201cWe have, at this stage, neither solicited or been offered donations,\u201d given that it is illegal for non-UK citizens to donate to MPs.<\/p>\n

Musk has repeatedly criticised British Prime Minister Kier Starmer for going \u201cfull Stalin\u201d and arresting and even jailing people for posting memes.<\/p>\n
