Reform will be cheesed off at that result |  |

This is the view of Tim Shipman, the political editor of the Spectator.
"Hidden within this humiliation, I wonder whether there is good news for the prime minister. This was also a very disappointing result for Reform. Over breakfast I ran into both a major player from No 10 and a senior figure in Reform. The former was sanguine: “It’s not as if we expected to win.” The latter was chastened, saying he was “recovering” from the result.
The reason is that there seems to have been a colossal amount of tactical voting. “It shows that, the more it looks like Reform might win, the more people will try to stop them,” a Labour source said. If that is replicated in 2029, Starmer’s huge majority would evaporate but his chances of remaining in government with an alliance of progressive parties would increase. If the next election is a referendum on Starmer, that could be bad news for Labour. If it is a referendum on Nigel Farage, that could play into Starmer’s hands." [Post edited 24 Oct 2025 17:28]

Very positive. I do think a lot of the country will look to stop them at all costs. Even doing something as utterly nauseating as voting for the Greens. |  |

Whatever you might think of them as a party nationally, those I have come across in local politics where I live are as nice people as you could hope to meet. | | | |

I hope we got some assurance that the bigger tits wasn't just a Reform cabinet. | |

The smears in the right wing media have already started but more disturbing though is this comment BTL on the Guardian yesterday.
"'Free speech champion' Elon Musk's idea of unrestricted free speech apparently includes allowing tweets depicting a certain new leader of a UK-based party as a hook-nosed, claw-fingered villain gleefully wrapping his hands around a globe. If that disgusting rubbish constitutes free speech then I'd rather be f**king mute." [Post edited 24 Oct 2025 18:15]
