YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJames O'Brien reacts after Reform UK won the knife-edge Runcorn by-election against Labour following a dramatic recount.
The race between Reform's Sarah Pochin and Labour candidate Karen Shore was separated by just four votes, leading Labour to demand a recount.
But several hours later, the news came in that Reform had indeed won the race by just six votes, in what will go down as the closest race in by-election history.
James recalls Carol Vorderman’s ‘bonkers’ prediction about Keir Starmer that may no longer be so ridiculous following the by-election results.
'I cannot ignore the people who tell me the Labour leader is the problem,' he remarks.
