GB News blames Reform’s Derbyshire defeat on tactical voting rather than local failures
The right-wing network’s coverage cast the defeat not as a judgement on Reform’s local performance, but as evidence of an emerging ‘Stop Reform’ plot.

“Given support for independence remains tied, Brexit alone is clearly not a catalyst that can itself prompt a surge in support for separation — but, on the basis of this poll, the advent of Nigel Farage as Prime Minister may well be.”
