A POLITICAL commentator claims that the Greens are "set to topple" Sir Bill Wiggin in north Herefordshire.
Iain Dale, a broadcaster and author who supports the Conservative party, also says "the Lib Dem vote has collapsed" and "Reform could take around 20 per cent".
"But early days at the count," he adds.
Well here's an interesting piece of gossip from North Herefordshire where it seems the LibDem vote has collapsed and the Green candidate Ellie Chowns is set to topple Bill Wiggin. Reform taking around 20%. But early days at the count.

This contradicts the Ipsos exit poll, which shows a "likely" Conservative hold in north Herefordshire.

Earlier predictions have been inconclusive as to whether the Greens stand a chance of taking the north Herefordshire seat.
The Green party made North Herefordshire one of its four target seats to win nationally.
The result of the count and declaration is expected between 4am and 5am, at the same time as the south Herefordshire result.
In south Herefordshire, Ipsos says the result is "too close to call" at this stage, with Conservative's Jesse Norman and Labour's Joe Emmett both standing a chance of winning the seat.
