Labour win the tory seat of Kingswood, which is just on the outskirts of Bristol, although it is actually a part of Gloucestershire. However, it appears they got this victory thanks to the Reform Party, who robbed the tories of a win in that place.
Labour have also just won the Wellingborough Constituency as well. Reform got over 3,000 votes in that one, tho in this case, Reform wouldn't have made any difference to the outcome.
We wonder just what the Reform Party are actually wanting? Perhaps a Labour Government, maybe? Was most amused to see UKIP still in the mix. I thought they had gone by the way!
.................................................................... Kingswood, (Gloucestershire) Result
Labour: 11,176
Conservatives: 8,675 Reform UK: 2,578 Green Party: 1,450 Liberal Democrats: 861 UKIP: 129
................................................................ Wellingborough, (Northamptonshire) Result
Labour: 13,844
Conservatives: 7,408 Reform UK: 3,919 Liberal Democrats: 1,422

That's weird because the guardian newspaper state that reform is the former brexit party which in turn is the former ukip. Either way their showing is the big story. As we are seeing in other countries. Anti Immigration talk gets votes. You don't even have to take any action on it apart from pretending to if you happen to be in the lawmaking party. See Rwanda for proof. You just have to mouth off about it and the votes come in.
