DER FUHRER FARAGE
Britain was hit by a wave of violence and intimidation from the far right at the end of July and the start of August. Over the course of six days, riots took place in towns and cities across the country, with mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers among the buildings targeted.
New polling from WeThink has revealed the public’s reaction to the events. Overall, the public were most likely to say they felt ‘concerned’, ‘angry’ and ‘disgusted’ by the riots.
WeThink also broke down different people’s responses based on which political party they supported. Green, Labour and Lib Dem voters were most likely to say they felt ‘concerned’, ‘disgusted’, ‘angry’, ‘sad’, and ‘frustrated’.
By contrast, supporters of Reform UK were by far the most likely to say that the riots made them feel ‘patriotic’, ‘proud’ or ‘optimistic’.
16% of Reform voters said the riots made them feel ‘patriotic’, 10% said they made them feel ‘proud’ and 9% said they made them feel ‘optimistic’.
Respondents to the poll were asked ‘The UK is currently experiencing a wave of riots. How does this make you feel?’

Support for the Tories has fallen since the general electio
Support for the Tories continues to sit in the doldrums after their catastrophic election defeat earlier this summer.
According to the latest opinion poll, support for the Tories is now lower than support for Nigel Farage’s Reform party.
The pollster WeThink’s latest figures suggest that support for Labour is at 33%, Reform at 21%, the Tories at 20%, the Lib Dems at 11% and the Greens at 8%.
In the 2024 general election, Labour picked up 33.7% of the popular vote, with the Tories in second on 23.7%. Reform polled 14%, the Lib Dems 12.2% and the Greens 6.4%.
With support for the Tories having only dropped since the general election, it doesn’t look like they’ll be returning to government any time soon…
