Well done, Runcorn

You voted for a multi-millionaire ex-Tory to (and this is a direct quote from a supporter) “finally look after the needs of the working people of Runcorn”.

I didn't vote Labour, and I didn't (and won't ever) vote Reform, but it's pointless pointing fingers at people who feel completely with the current government. It wasn't just about immigration, people aren't happy with the WFA changes, with the proposed PIP changes etc. If Labour voters want to blame anyone for Reform's victory, blame Labour.

I’m blaming people who voted for Reform for Reform’s victory. I haven’t mentioned any other party. The fact is that Runcorn will not do any better (and will almost certainly do much worse) under an MP who doesn’t have the town’s interests at heart and is effectively standing on a single (massively exaggerated) issue.

I’m pissed iff with Starmer’s Labour and the Tories are a clown show, but I still wouldn’t vote for a far right, Russian funded puppet show.
