In what possible context is this a Reform win?

A win in a fight

- that Nigel personally picked himself because his own personally dubious way of living and coming into money caused Parliament to investigate him

- where a novelty candidate won more (a greater share of the vote) than most novelty candidates ever have

- that Farage fought explicitly (he has said so) to attempt to discredit any legitimate recall election triggered by his standards investigation

- that has only cost Reform money campaigning for a race he'd already won.

- that only caused more scrutiny on Posh George, his mother, the money, Tice, on the fact that their crypto-based funding is so shady, banks and the police are investigating it

- where Farage decided not to turn up to the count, claiming the police had told him not to, which turns out not to be the truth

- that took effectively took Reform's party leader off the national media stage because of impartiality regulations on reporting

- that possibly caused them to lose the Manchester mayoral election (or at least lose worse than they could have) because the entire party abandoned campaigning in favour of Clacton

Farage "won" but he lost. Reform only lost.

ETA: Count Binface won by more votes than any recall petition would need to force Farage out of his seat and to fight it again. That is a huge deal.
