Reform to Target Starmer’s London Seat

Reform UK has confirmed it will fight the upcoming by-election in Keir Starmer’s Holborn and St Pancras constituency following the former Prime Minister’s decision to step down, according to GB News. Speaking moments after the announcement, Reform MP Sarah Pochin declared that her party is ready for the contest.

The political landscape was thrown into fresh turmoil as Sir Keir Starmer triggered a high-profile by-election by giving up his north London seat. As GB News reports, the unexpected departure has immediately opened up a fierce battleground in a constituency long held by the Labour Party leadership.

Reacting to the breaking news live on GB News, Reform MP Sarah Pochin stated that she was “not surprised” by Sir Keir’s decision to step away from his parliamentary constituency. The move comes as Westminster braces for another major electoral test.

When questioned by GB News on whether Nigel Farage’s party intends to put forward a candidate to contest the vacancy, Ms Pochin delivered an uncompromising response:

Oh, absolutely. Yes. Another by-election. Bring it on.
