these are important elections because i think it's a true test of what reform can do and how we can also pull off labourr reform because nigel farage made those promises. actually, when you were unveiled as a reform mayoral candidate, saying, you know, it's all about the local elections, we can get hundreds of seats. and now that opportunity to sort of flex your muscles in may has been taken away. how damaging has that been for reform? >> i think it's been purposely taken away actually by the two main parties colluding. and i think that's pretty bad. and it's undemocratic actually. but look, there's these elections. we've got a good chance in lincolnshire. touchwood. we've got a good chance in, in the hull and east riding election for mayor. and don't forget, the next stage after that will be the elections in wales to the welsh assembly. >> i was just thinking, as i'm speaking to you, because we were covering the andrew gwynne story earlier today, i appreciate that you're going for a mayoral position, but actually we could be facing a by—election in gorton and denton if andrew gwynne can't go the distan

general election, with labour cabinet ministers set to lose their seats and nigel farage holding the balance of power. the survey of almost 1800 people by mega poll found reformld have 175 seats, up from only five. labour would drop from 412 to 174, with the tories gaining about 50. wes streeting yvette cooper and deputy prime minister angela rayner would be among those to lose their seats, with the most likely outcome. a conservative reform uk coalition. if a general election was held tomorrow, a major railway line in manchester is closed after a car driven by a suspected drunk driver crashed onto the tracks. images from the scene show the vehicle had come to rest upside down. plenty of debns to rest upside down. plenty of debris there as well. these are the tracks in salford. it's caused major disruption to train services between manchester and liverpool already, and that line is expected to be closed for much of the day. celebrity chef gino d'acampo has denied allegations of inappropriate behaviour on the sets of his tv programmes. an investigation by itv news found accusations of misconduct against the 48 year old, including using sexualised and aggressiv

it's labour running scared from nigel farage and reform. the party is facing a backbench rebellion on migration. but tonight we will reveal the top labour seats that are facing an existential threat from reform, as the government is revealed to be planning a new islamophobia definition. i'm going to be asking tonight the free speech union founder, toby young, what this means for the future of free speech. i'll also be speaking to the former home secretary, suella braverman, about the government's plan to press ahead with the disastrous chagos surrender. plus, following the killing of a swedish anti—islam activist. we're going to be going live tonight to sweden, revealing how it has been utterly transformed by mass immigration. that's state of the nation with me. matt goodwin starts right now. state of the nation with me. matfacing win starts right now. state of the nation with me. matfacing winexistentialt now. state of the nation with me. matfacing winexistential threat are facing an existential threat from reform, as the government is reve

everything right now points to chaos in this government, not least devastating polls showing labour in disarray. reform uk topped a yougov poll for the first time this week, with 25% of the vote, pipping this week, with 25% of the vote, pipping labour and the tories by one and 4% respectively. then we had this absolute bombshell yesterday from mrp, a so—called mega poll of 5700 people that put reform uk absolutely top of the pile yet again, picking up 175 seats that would probably see them form a coalition with the tories, who were on 178. and that's an idea i imagine reform would scoff at right now anyway, so bear those polls in mind when we're looking at what's been happening in the labour trenches recently. we had what looks like a coordinated attack on reform uk and nigel farage, particularly on one issue, the nhs. >> crux of farage's argument is this what was possible in the 20th century is not possible in the 21st. it's a miserablist, declinist vision for britain's future. people shouldn't have to choose between a health service that treats them on time, and an nhs free at the point of use. thati

from laboun who've gone to reform from labour, who believetry, who didn't favour the european union, have doubts about net zero, and actually stand up for your base vote. >> i think that's a bit extreme in terms of the vote to leave the european union. you're pretty close to being right in terms of representing the traditional labour base. the number of labour mps who basically represent the skilled and unskilled white working class has diminished, but it is still there, genuinely there, although a lot smaller than it used to be. >> but this has made room for nigel and indeed for the conservatives, because quite a lot of voters. in 2019, ex—labour voters voted conservative and then in 2024 seemed to vote to reform. so part of the issue for both the conservatives and reform is this old labour vote, which, as i say, i think you do represent, but has been less fashionable, let's put it that way. >> i agree with that. and the labour party has to try and get it back. i mean, one of the items in in the news you just read was that part of the deal t

we have this poll out this week that had the tories slipping down the polls to third place, reform top, labourecond, tories third. is it now? and because of that poll that kemi badenoch decided to come out and talk tough on on migration? >> i mean, look, she is talking tough on it. i would say that that there's a difference between and actually this is to your point, this is a trap the conservatives probably fell into where all they did was talk tough. the talking actually isn't that tough on this. it's in some ways it's quite it's quite dry kind of detailed policy on doubling the time for indefinite leave to remain what we would deem skilled in this country. if you've claimed benefits, you know, social housing, just raising that threshold. so it's not talking too tough. i think this is actually decent, workable, practical policy in all fairness. and there's probably people watching this now going, why isn't this already, you know, why doesn't this already exist? why do we why, you know, the idea that you can't have a criminal record if you've had a criminal record if you've had a criminal rec

reform on 175 and labour on 174. so if an election was called, that would be the result.ng that if you put the two right wing parties together, that would be a mega party on the right, wouldn't it? definitely defeating labour, which surely is the point. let's find out, shall we? joining me now is mark howe, the chairman of sutton coldfield reform uk. mark, thank you very much for joining me today. very intriguing story here. now we did try to talk to one of the very high up people in reform this morning, and i can't repeat what they actually said live on air. so what's your comments on this one? >> well, i'm not surprised they couldn't repeat it on air. i think the thing is, dawn, first of all, it's the daily mail report. they're not really friends of reform uk. and we saw back in, you know, 2019 when we did a deal with, well, when we sort of stood candidates down for boris johnson to defeat laboun for boris johnson to defeat labour. and then johnson obviously squandered an 80 seat majority with mass immigration. et cetera. et cetera. so, you know, my own personal view wo

reform's momentum. we also discussed on yesterday's show how number 10, downing street has dispatched strategy experts and advisers to try and support labourmps on issues that clearly matter to reform voters. and it's no doubt that this all stems from reform surge in the polls, including today's poll from find out now, which has reform leading by four percentage points. but now it seems the conservative party is following labour's lead. ever since kemi badenoch became leader, she has insisted the party was not ready to issue policies. but finally, we now have a policy from the new tory leader. check this out. >> need to make sure that all of the people who are here have to have a meaningful contribution to the uk. so one of the things that we would be changing is making sure that people are net contributors to the to the uk. british citizenship is not an entitlement. it is not a right. it is a privilege. and we have one of the easiest routes to citizenship. >> so the tories are now proposing that jobless and low paid legal migrants will be banned from settling indefinitely in the uk. up until now, they could apply after having lived in the
