This result really emphasises quite how far reaching Reform are right now.
This is not 'left behind' Britain. It's a fairly middle class and pleasant part of Halifax that has moved around between Tories, LD and Labour.
It is what many people would call a fairly 'moderate' place.

A bit surprising to not see the Greens (or LDs) benefiting at all from Labour's collapse here - they have some councillors in Calderdale.
Ribble Valley, Lancaster Rural East, Lancaster Rural North, Trough of Bowland etc
Low turnout of everyone else plus Reform vote spiking
Close in almost all of them, but FPTP helps those that get the vote out
