Restore Britain, the party set up by MP Rupert Lowe, came within 18 votes of Reform UK in a Lancashire council by-election on its very first attempt there. Labour held the Huncoat seat in Hyndburn by just 43 votes as the right-wing vote split three ways. Lowe called the 27.8% share astonishing. Reform had won almost half the vote in the same ward in May.
