The only part of the country that has fallen for Farage’s nonsense is those who are under privileged and poor.
The 6 County Councils that voted – Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Hampshire, West Sussex and East Sussex – all broadly in the well-to-do southeast were all lost by the Conservatives thanks to large gains by Reform: sufficiently large in Suffolk and Essex for Reform to gain control, and the others to NOC.
Which rather puts paid to the idea that Reform only figured in areas that are ‘under privileged and poor’
