The Green candidate won over 40% of the vote. Reform UK came in second place with over 28%. New Labour only got third place with around 25% of the vote, which is about half of what they got for this parliamentary seat in the 2024 elections (i.e. a massive drop in support).

Been seeing voxpop clips of reform voters - they have no idea what they're actually voting for 100% of the time, and have circled around reform like flies on shit simply because they've been led to believe that this tiny isle is just too small for all the immigrants.
Doesn't matter that we are a net-import economy that would depend either on degrowth (muh treets!) or increasing immigration, building more houses and actually bothering to integrate immigrant communities
