Original Note:
The poster appears to be confusing the race for second place with winning the Blackpool by-election. Under the UK FPTP system coming second or third counts for nothing. Labour won by a landslide, whilst the Conservatives can second only 100 votes ahead of reform. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/03/local-elections-labour-crush-tories-blackpool-south/
