Nigel Farage, leader of Britain’s right-wing populist party Reform UK, described the appointment of Andy Burnham as the country’s new Prime Minister as a coup as he called for holding a general election as soon as possible. There must be a General Election immediately," he argued. Burnham, 56, was declared Labour leader on July 17 without a party election after no other candidates entered the race. According to the latest YouGov polling, Reform UK has the largest support in Britain (25%), followed by the Conservative party (20%) and the Labour party (19%). The country should hold a regular general election no later than August 2029.
