Reform beats Labour by six votes to take Runcorn

Nigel Farage’s Reform UK has secured victory by six votes over Labour in Runcorn and Helsby as Sir Keir Starmer failed his first by-election test as prime minister.

The narrow victory for new MP Sarah Pochin saw Reform taking a constituency which Labour won with a majority of almost 14,700 less than 12 months ago.

Nigel Farage says Reform UK will only do a deal with other parties if they agree to review policies like “climate change initiatives” unless something akin to a “British DOGE in every county” is implemented. Mr Farage expects Reform to do “very, very well” at the local elections, which could mean the party becomes power brokers in local authorities around the country. Report by Blairm.
