History

Historical Context

The 7 May 2015 general election gave the Conservatives a majority while UKIP captured 12.6 % of the vote, becoming the third-placed party but winning only one seat. That surge helped fuel the 23 June 2016 Brexit referendum, which produced a 51.9 % Leave majority. On 26 October 2026, Reform UK and MP Robert Jenrick unveiled a “Rescue Plan” at Lindley Hall, reviving the 2015 populist push for deregulation and energy-security debates.
