Reform: 1,453,
Labour: 1,068,
Liberal Democrats: 844,
Tories: 801,
Green: 587,

This is depressing. Trumpism spreading.

The UK election results are total chaos, and this is not normal:

#NigelFarage and #Reform are having a great week. They have sat on the sidelines complaining for a long time and it's been very effective. They are no longer on the sidelines. They are starting to have to actually govern, and they can't do that, none of the right wing populists can. They are incompetent, deeply embarrassingly know nothing all talk incompetents.

This is depressing.

UK election results show a massive increase for trumpian Reform, but labour still has a majority, not good enough to build government, so they have to work with another party, and I'm sure it's not the greens.
