💨 Abstract

Nigel Farage's Reform UK party won its fifth parliamentary seat in the Runcorn by-election. He criticized the Labour government and Conservatives, announced a "DOGE unit," and supports lifting the two-child benefit cap. The party has gained traction in Labour and Conservative strongholds. Sir Keir Starmer faced backlash for his remarks on immigration and a U-turn on winter fuel payments. Reform UK's profile in online dating has surprisingly increased.
