In reply to Dave the Gnome.

Here in Kent Labour gained 10 new MPs. I would say that it is unlikely they would have managed that without the Reform vote. Even here in Dover where Labour won with a majority of 7,000 (better than most of the other gains in Kent) it was still less than the combined Reform/Conservative vote.

The one standing Labour MP in Kent retained her seat. The sad fact is the Labour party probably wished that she lost.

Party politics, huh?

As I said earlier, I voted Labour.
