Back in February 2022, @drdavidbull and I spent weeks in Erdington leading a newly rebranded Reform UK. My team and I knocked on thousands of doors in all weathers, speaking to anyone who would listen, putting everything we had into that campaign. In the end, we received just 293 votes, and it was a tough result to take. Yesterday, I returned to Erdington and everything had changed. The support, the recognition and the mood was something I had never quite seen before. On May 7th, this part of Birmingham is extremely likely to elect Reform councillors, and in a general election it could go even further and elect a Reform Member of Parliament. That possibility felt distant four years ago. It does not feel distant now. It is the result of people refusing to give up when the easy option would have been to walk away. From 293 votes to this moment, that is what resilience looks like. That is what belief looks like. And it is only just beginning. Vote Reform. Get Starmer Out.
