It’s only a single council by-election, but Tuesday’s Green gain from Reform feels symbolic — the Greens received 44% of the vote, Reform 35%, and the traditional parties only 19% between them: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y2j42dgy5o

@xbomb13 @katemorley I also thought the lad was cosplaying as Captain Kirk, which would be a fairly legendary way to turn up to an election count

The result puts a serious challenge to the millions of LibLab centrists who continue to insist that the only way to stop a RefUK govt is for the left to ignore the Greens and YP and vote for centrist parties.

This result along with the widespread failure of centrist parties across Europe would suggest that all those 'sensible' centrists need to get off the fence and choose a side.
