I fear that, while Labour won the election, Reform UK split the vote of right-wing voters, which might have been one of the factors that contributed to the huge Labour win. However, if Reform UK is in second place in many places now and if the Tories are increasingly fading into obscurity, it might mean that Reform UK could be filling that void in the 2029 elections and so this is no time for Labour politicians to rest on their laurels.
