Reform are populist - left wing on business and right wing on law and order. That's a popular place to be. Not good for the country but an attractive area to position yourself with the electorate.
Also, let's not forget, Labour were criticised for having no policies and it didn't prevent them getting into power.

If a general election were held today, Reform UK would be on course to win the most seats, but no party would be close to an overall majority, a new poll suggests.
Nigel Farage’s party would win 180 seats, with the Tories and Labour on 165 seats each, according to the More in Common survey of 16,000 voters. Sir Keir Starmer’s party would achieve an even worse result than it sustained under Jeremy Corbyn in 2019, losing 246 seats, the modelling claims.mon director Luke Tryl said the survey shows that “British politics has fragmented to an unprecedented level”.
