Results special: What changes after Nigel Farage’s big night?

from Politics At Sam and Anne's

Sky News’ Sam Coates and Politico’s Anne McElvoy have a Friday episode to take stock of the by-election, mayoral and local election results so far. Sam’s pulled an all-nighter to cover Reform’s victory in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election – it won by just six seats. It won the Greater Lincolnshire mayoralty too.  So it’s a morning of questions to ponder – how do bigger parties respond to the Reform victories?Could a Starmer visit to Runcorn have secured the few votes needed for victory there? And is Labour focussing on Reform voters at the expense of people at the other end of the political spectrum? Plus, with lots of councils that were controlled by the Conservatives still to declare, at what point does someone mention Boris Johnson?
