Reform UK spokeswoman Ann Widdecombe has declared a “strong sensation” of change in UK politics as Nigel Farage’s party storm through several local election victories – gaining more than 300 seats.
The party’s first female MP Sarah Pochin beat Labour’s candidate in Runcorn and Helsby by just six votes – while Dame Andrea Jenkyns became Reform’s first-ever Mayor in Greater Lincolnshire.
