"for the first time in 18 months, Star Sports has staked Labour as most likely to win the general election. Keir Starmer's party have been in the ascendency in the market, said their head of betting, William Kedjanyi, shortening into 13/8 from 15/8 in the past week to supplant Reform at the head of the betting."
"Star Sports attributes this as Reform's loss rather than Labour's win, pointing to the challenger party Restore Britain, founded by the Elon Musk-backed MP Rupert Lowe, as the real source of Farage's problems. The fringe organisation's policies include returning the Great British pub to the centre of Great British cultural life, and bringing in a Great Clarification Act to reassert parliamentary sovereignty over the courts."
Star Sports betting odds show Labour as the most likely general election winner for the first time in 18 months, with odds shortening to 13/8 from 15/8. Reform UK's odds drifted from 13/8 to 15/8 in the same period. The bookmaker attributes this shift primarily to Reform's losses rather than Labour's gains, identifying the newly founded Restore Britain party as the source of Farage's problems. Restore Britain, backed by Elon Musk-supporter Rupert Lowe, proposes policies including restoring the pub to cultural prominence, implementing a Great Clarification Act, repealing equality and human rights legislation, and abolishing the current asylum system. The dynamic mirrors Reform's earlier impact on the Conservative Party.
