Union Boss Sharon Graham Rejects Farage's Claim That Reform Is Now the Party of the Working Class

Summary

A trade union boss (Sharon Graham) has dismissed Nigel Farage's claim that Reform UK is now the party of the working class. This follows new polling from The Times showing that 28% of trade union members would now vote Reform, matching the 28% who would vote Labour — a dramatic shift from the 2024 general election when 48% of union members backed Labour and only 16% backed Reform. Farage had reacted to the polling on X, claiming Labour is no longer the party of the patriotic working class, but Graham countered by pointing to his voting record in the Commons.
