Update. Unfortunately Reform got a 5th seat: South Basildon and East Thurrock. After a long recount Reform beat Labour candidate by 98 votes.

The worst part of this from my point of view is that they got more seats than the Green Party. It’s disappointing that rabble-rousing hatred of the other is more effective at getting the vote out than promising to make a small effort to prevent ecological collapse

Bad news, but good that they got less than six as this means less short money (~£350K rather than £1m) for the votes they received.
