The winners of Reform’s generous electricity bill payment prize are, by a wild coincidence, a pair of staunch party loyalists – 17 raised eyebrows
On the very small off-chance that you’ve missed Reform UK’s energy policy, they insist that they’d scrap green levies, which they claim would shave £200 from an annual bill.
What they don’t mention is that it would render the UK more susceptible to supply interference, such as – oh, I don’t know – a war in the Middle East, for example.
To publicise that policy, they ran a lottery for one lucky winner and their entire street to have their electricity bills paid by the party.
A Reform Government will take £200 off your energy bill by scrapping taxes and levies.
And today we’re opening a draw to pay a year's energy bills for you and your ENTIRE STREET.https://t.co/PuSzNcLOYu pic.twitter.com/HaPuzRjKS5

On Thursday, the winners were revealed as June from Wigan, and her neighbours.
June from Wigan is the winner, along with her entire street!

You could have knocked us down with a feather when it turned out that June and her other half were staunch and longstanding supporters of Nigel and Co, going way back, at least as far as the Brexit Party days.
🗼WELL I NEVER🗼
Would you believe that Ray and June, who won the Reform UK energy bills prize, go back all the way to the Brexit Party with Farage?
Here they are with Farage, Widdecombe and Bull [a truly awful supernatural detective thriller].

In other news, it’s good to see that Reform cared enough to google the spelling of Jenrick.
We can tell you’re all stunned at the level of the coincidence, but rest assured you were in good company. Here are some of the people finding it all a bit of a stretch.
1.
Some called the “competition” a cynical PR stunt.
Others said it was deflection from Farage’s Iran war flip-flop.
A few spotted the data harvesting.
Turns out it was far simpler: just a giveaway to their own Reform party members.
June from Wigan, congrats on ‘winning’!! https://t.co/FKvvpCOqHW pic.twitter.com/XDhCg04Uzl

What were the odds that a pair of mortgage-free, retirees were to win free energy bills for a year over a single mother working two jobs, renting a one bedroom flat https://t.co/r8nAWSR45x
