"We've made history here tonight... now together let's build a better future" Reform UK's Sarah Pochin celebrates her win in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election after beating Labour by just six votes Follow live results and analysis:

@BBCNews Reform have smashed it tonight. In the places they didn't win, they reduced previous majorities to almost nothing. Reform will wipe the board if we had a general election. The country is sick of both labour and Tory lies. Vote reform, get reform!

𝐔𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐨𝐬𝐭 The liberal establishment has abandoned their base and emboldened Trump to capture voters who are disillusioned with the status quo. We need to move forward to build a legitimate working class coalition... ★ NEW ARTICLE ⬇️

Brexit. Nigel Farage. Leader of UKIP and a Brexiteer. Nothing learnt. So be it.

Those who celebrate and support this win by Reform, shame on you! Open your eyes to what they want to do, you think you have a bad life now ( which ultimately is down to the last 14 years of Tories, not the barely 1 year of Labour) well think again if Reform grab more power

well done @reformparty_uk winning the seat by a historical 6 votes. It's proof that many in UK are fed up with @UKLabour ... now @Keir_Starmer our pathetic dictator needs to resign , now #LocalElections2025 #LabourLiars

Wonderful news, fuck Labour this is the beginning of the end for Starmer , the swing in votes is huge

@BBCNews 80% of House of Commons MPs failed last night by allowing rich man Farage to win this Northern City seat. They allowed themselves to be unrepresentated on BBC,Sky, LBC Farage Love in even though they represent <1% of MPs. Wasted votes in Runcorn lef Fascists begin to win Britain

@BBCNews Enter the smug Farage/Reform the one trick pony of British politics. The trick being immigration with nationalism verging on fascism bent upon creation of Faragistan Undoubtedly guided by mentor and master Trump with Trumpistan agenda and rhetoric

A historic vote for Fascism as #BBCBreakfast just said Reform are now up to 5 MP's. Wait what, were they not on 5 already, ah no they lost a misogynist and gained a Woman MP. Better watch out Sarah one of the other 5 likes to hit women!!!

Turkeys voting for Christmas. 😂

Imagine those people who still voted for labour. They must have serious issues
