Farage claims 'many millions' want to vote for Reform UK

During a rally in Birmingham Nigel Farage says that Reform UK is "what people are talking about at the breakfast table, at work, at the pub, at the bingo hall - wherever people people go, we are the story" before claiming that "many millions already have said that they absolutely going to vote for us. But there are many millions more who have simply not made up their minds and they could come to us over the course of the next four days". The party leader also says that the establishment is "happy" with Keir Starmer taking over from Rishi Sunak because "it's not actually a change of government, it's a change of middle management".
