Reform UK just chalked up another win, and this time, it’s making waves far beyond the ballot box. The party grabbed a council seat from Labour in the Shelley ward of Ongar Town Council, located in Essex’s Epping Forest District. Reform candidate secured a decisive 352 votes, while Labour trailed far behind with just 100.
James Murdock, a Reform MP, didn’t hold back on celebrating. “78 percent of the votes go to Reform in the latest Essex by election. Gain from Labour. Well done team,” he posted, as reported by The Express. This victory comes hot on the heels of a series of headline making wins including a major upset in the Runcorn and Helsby by election, a seat that had long been a Labour stronghold.
