Farage’s Reform UK hails a ‘big moment’ as it wins a seat in Parliament, eyes local election gains

  • On May 1, 2025, Reform UK secured a narrow victory in the Runcorn and Helsby parliamentary by-election in northwest England, winning the seat by a margin of just six votes following a recount.
  • The by-election was held after former Labour MP Mike Amesbury resigned due to his conviction related to an incident where he assaulted a constituent during a drunken episode last year.
  • Reform's Sarah Pochin overturned Labour's previous 14,696-vote majority in a tense count, with turnout unusually high at 46.3%, signaling voter shifts.
  • Nigel Farage described the win as a significant milestone for politics, while Reform aims to capture hundreds of local council seats currently held by the Conservative and Labour parties.
  • The result marks a major setback for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour government and indicates a rising challenge from Reform UK on the British right.
