    Almost 30% of those voting went for a bloke too racist for Reform, not something to be gloating about, I'd have thought.

    Still 10,000 that voted for someone too racist even for reform though.

    Not great is it.

    Even if you add the Reform & Tory vote together it’s way below the Labour vote. Fantastic to see.

    There seems to be a lot more enthusiasm for voting for right wing parties in the North East & Swindon than Barnsley North.

    Hopefully this is a sign to come and Reform get nowhere near the 13.

    Yeah, but to be fair that has worked very well in the last few straight labour/tory contests!

    I've been following the various polling methods really closely this election - it'll be really interesting to see how the methodologies change next time round.

    And Stephanie Peacock wins by around a 5,000 margin!

    Delighted my town hasn’t even come close to electing Reform.

    Pleased for Stephanie Peacock especially as she's fought hard for ex-miners, so much so that Labour's manifesto promised to deal with both the injustice of Orgreave and the way that the Tory Government raided the Miners' pension fund.

    Hope 1 or both of our MPs gets a Cabinet position. Going to be nice to see an end to the Govt, vindictiveness towards our Town. Not expecting limitless financial support from a new Labour govt, but it has got to be a little better
