The UK is FPTP. Reform split the previously unified conservative vote so labour won with a historically low %.

Total Reform + Conservative vote was at historical lows as a percentage of the electorate.

Turnout was historically low. Labour didn't really "win", the Conservatives lost. A lot of Conservatives voters didn't really recognise the party.

Also not every Reform voter would vote Conservative if Reform didn't exist.
