Those are the figures I have.\"\n\nMartin then clarified his dataset spanned from May 2025 until now, and Ms Jardine said she was referring to Lib Dem wins in the year 2025 alone.\n\nMartin blasted: \"Your figures are out of date... if they're run to now, then you aren't performing as well as Reform UK!\"\n\n**_WATCH THE CLIP ABOVE FOR MORE_**",
