As expected/feared ReformUK won the Runcorn by-election, albeit by the thinnest of margins;
ReformUK 12,645/ Labour 12,639; 6 votes!
Sadly, given that most of the votes (albeit on a low turnout) seemed to have flowed from Labour to Reform, although the Tories also lost vote share, the Labour leadership will (wrongly) think they need to double down on their Reform-like policy pronouncements... leaving any rapprochement with the centre left to other parties.
Not good news at all!
