Both Mr Farage and Mr Johnson have visited Doncaster in recent weeks, with both parties seemingly keen to focus their attentions on a town which recorded a 69% Leave vote.

However, the increase in support for both parties has come largely at the expense of UKIP rather than Labour, with Mr Farage’s former party plunging from and 18% share in April to zero this time round.

Support for Labour has dropped by 5% from 27% to 22% while the Remain supporting Liberal Democrats have seen their share rise from 4 to 7%, an increase of 3%.
