In a startling political shift in England, Tory MP Richard Fuller found himself defending the Conservative Party after Reform UK's unexpected success in local elections, including a razor-thin victory in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. This breakthrough, hailed by Nigel Farage, indicates growing dissatisfaction with traditional parties, as Reform UK seized numerous council seats from both the Conservatives and Labour. Fuller's insistence on caring about the results highlighted the mounting pressure on conservatives to address public discontent amidst a fragmented political landscape.
