Four seats were up for grabs on Thursday and it was another stunning week for the Reform UK juggernaut. They were fighting all four seats for the first time and won two. In Norfolk they took a seat from the Conservatives and in Stoke-on-Trent they completely annihilated the defending Labour party, receiving almost three times as many votes. They also scored an impressive second place in Dunbartonshire, where they pushed the SNP all the way to the final round of counting.
So has Chairman Starmer's immigration rhetoric had an impact on voters? Not judging by these results, where Labour's vote share plummeted by double digits in all four seats.
