The recent elections emphasized Reform's growing influence, successfully winning the Runcorn and Helsby by-election from Labour with a significant 39% of the vote. Despite this, they narrowly lost other important contests, including in Doncaster and North Tyneside. The results suggest that Reform could gain overall control in areas like Lincolnshire and Staffordshire, which are receptive to anti-EU sentiments. However, Reform has also seen its vote share decrease significantly since previous elections, losing many seats and signaling continuing challenges ahead in British politics.
The overnight results from Thursday's elections have confirmed the message of the polls that Reform are posing a major challenge to the traditional dominance of British politics.
Reform wins Runcorn by-election by just six votes and gains first mayor, having won 39% of the vote, putting it ahead of rivals.
