REFORM DISCOVERS HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS, IS FUMING ABOUT IT ON X
Reform lost Dudley's St James's ward to Labour by two votes – 874 to 872 – while Rupert Lowe's Restore Britain hoovered up 159. Richard Tice took to X with the considered analysis 'Vote Restore, get Labour', the first Reform slogan in history to be strictly accurate. The hard right is splitting into ever smaller pieces, and frankly we're here for the sequel: 'Vote Restore Restore, get Restore'.
THE BORING BIT: WHAT THE REAL REPORT SAYS
Labour won Dudley's St James's ward 874 to Reform's 872; Restore Britain took 159; Richard Tice posted on X 'Vote Restore, get Labour'.
