Nigel Farage (C), leader of the Reform UK party, celebrates the victory of Sarah Pochin, the party's candidate, in the Runcorn & Helsby by-election at the DCBL Stadium in Widnes, north-west England, in the early hours of May 2, 2025.
Nigel Farage did not turn up to savour his victory in the by-election he triggered himself.
Overnight he told a rally of Reform UK supporters he had been advised there was an "organised campaign to disrupt and degrade the result" and wanted to avoid being "demeaned and humiliated by nobodies".
