Nigel Farage has eventually emerged as the favorite to replace Sir Keir Starmer as the upcoming Prime Minister of the UK while eminent Ladbrokes have placed his odds at 5/2, reported Daily Star.
According to Daily Star, this certain shift in betting comes amidst a surge of support for The Reform UK party of Nigel Farge while the party is now being seen as a potential contender for the most seats in the next general election.

The political landscape is actually shifting as the next general election approaches while the odds of Reform UK are improving pretty significantly from 16/1 to 9/4 for winning the most number of seats, asserted Daily Star. Though, in spite of such developments, numerous analysts caution that betting odds might not accurately reflect public sentiment given the distance to the election.
Sir Keir Starmer has faced severe challenges during his leadership and has set ambitious goals for his government while asserting that Britain can still achieve great things in spite of its major ongoing struggles, noted Daily Star. The pressure is pretty much on him now to deliver on these promises because failure could certainly lead to further shortening of his odds against potential rivals.
