Welcome to the forums

Afraid it looks more like blight

You could hold it back a bit with a fungicide, but not for long. Best cut the tops off and burn them.

My default conclusion is that its potato blight which is caused by potato blight which is a fungal disease which inevitably strikes during the wet season. It can be easily controlled using fungicides and the best route is to go organic. Sulphur is considered an effective fungicide and contrary to most people's viewpoints, its organic.
