They were but their vote went up a lot in the by election last week and they're polling at about the same as the Brexit Party. They're the established party who are most recognised by people and have all the structures etc in place already so it won't be easy to take their voters away. Their new leader does seem to have consolidated a support base amongst the more unpleasant Brexit voters as well - all the Tommy Robinson supporters, EDL types etc
