Nigel Farage is celebrating this morning after Reform UK secured four major wins in separate council by-elections across England. The insurgent party won seismic gains in Rotherham, Tewksbury, Bassetlaw and Hartlepool, all key areas Mr Farage would hope to take at the next general election.
Reform took the Throston ward in Hartlepool with a whopping 48.7% of the vote, gaining from Labour. They also won Rankshill in Bassetlaw with an even more impressive 52.7% of the vote, having not stood last time. Labour and the Tories collapsed by 27.8 points and 42 points respectively, with Mr Farage taking the seats from the Tories. In Northway, Tewksbury, Reform won with 41.4% of the vote, having not previously fielded a candidate, gaining the ward from an independent.

Reform now has impressive showings every Thursday, when council by-elections are held, further proving their national poll lead is a real threat to the main parties.
Mr Farage’s party swept to an astonishing victory in May’s local elections, gaining 677 councillors and 10 councils, many more than experts had predicted.

Since the England local elections however, Reform has since won 30 council by-elections, taking their national total up to 842.
The party has also led in every single national opinion poll since early April, the most recent giving then a seven point lead over Labour.
Recent election calculus suggests Reform would come just one seat shy of an overall majority at the moment, with 325 seats.
