️ Reform UK faced their first real by-election tests this week - and flopped. Hard. ️
After all the noise about their local election wins in May, voters got a taste of Reform chaos… and then thought better of it.
Two councillors resigned just days after being elected - one because he wasn’t even legally allowed to stand. That’s right: they didn’t even check the basic rules. And it cost local taxpayers nearly £50,000 to clean up the mess.
In Durham, Reform’s man quit after 9 days when it turned out he already worked for the council. That by-election? Won by the Lib Dems. Reform limped into third.
In Nottinghamshire, another Reform councillor quit days after helping the party seize control of the council. The Tories narrowly took that seat back - by just 8 votes.
Why does this matter? Because it shows that voters are getting wise to the bluster. After seeing what Reform actually do with power - resign, waste money, and dodge responsibility - communities are already pushing back.
Together, we can turn the tide.
Wasted taxpayer money
Zero accountability
Nothing to offer but culture war chaos
And the moment people get a second chance to vote? Reform lose.
