Nigel Farage's Reform UK party achieved a historic victory in the Runcorn and Helsby byelection, winning by just six votes after a recount. The win signifies a substantial impact on the UK political landscape, with Reform UK gaining momentum against Labour and the Conservatives. This byelection, dubbed the narrowest parliamentary win of the century, illustrates a shift in voter alliances towards a coalition challenging traditional party lines. Farage's growing influence reflects public sentiments against Labour and Conservative policies, and his party aims to capitalize on this momentum moving forward.
It's a very, very big moment, absolutely no question, declared the perma-tanned populist, as his party grasped hold of one of Labour's safest seats by just six votes after a dramatic recount.
As Farage's aides celebrated in the stadium car park... the leader planned a victory lap of England. His once-fringe party was now centre stage.
