Rishi Sunak

[MillionMilesAway]

All the nominations were in yesterday.

Reform managed 449. Tories and Labour on 631, but I'd guess Reform are standing the places they think it'll make a difference.

One of the best is the guy who was ousted by Farage in Clacton, apparently spent the day after campaigning with him - and that was all it took to persuade him to leave Reform and stand against Farage as an independent!

You'd certainly assume that Reform are only standing in England. I'm not sure of the exact numbers after the border changes, but it still looks like they're not standing in 70-80 constituencies.

I think a Conservative earlier said there were 4 they were missing.

Looks like the figure on wikipedia might not have been updated. According to Election Maps they reached 611, and curiously, it looks like every seat in Scotland and Wales.

That twitter feed also has this (with what I think some of the initials are, some of these I may well have wrong):

Parties Standing More Than 20 Candidates (GB, out of 632):
LAB: 631
CON: 630
LDM: 630
GRN: 618
RFM: 611
WPB: 151 - Workers Party
SDP: 122 - Social Democratic Party
SNP: 57
HER: 41 - Heritage Party (?, offshoot of UKIP)
TUSC: 39 - Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
PLC: 32 - Plaid Cymru
REU: 26 - Rejoin EU
Yorks: 26 - Yorkshire Party
UKIP: 25
CPA: 22 - Climate Party ? Christian People's Alliance ?
ALBA: 19

Presumably the 1 different between Lab/Con/Lib is the Speaker's constituency.

Might be, although the Spen Valley Tory candidate was withdrawn pretty late, so maybe they didn’t have another candidate waiting to go.

Will Tory K ask him about that this morning?

I had it in my head it was next week but you’re right.
Would be very funny if the Brexity vote in Clacton ended up being split 3 ways between the Tories, Farage and this independent, leaving the Labour candidate winning with about 30% of the vote.

So there is more than one way in Essex.
