Reform UK Houghton and Sunderland South

Reform UK is standing in Houghton and Sunderland South as part of its campaign to contest all 650 constituencies at the next general election. The party — which is polling at over 25% nationally — is rapidly building its local branch network, with Houghton and Sunderland South among the constituencies where activists are organising.

The current MP is Bridget Phillipson, who has held the seat for the Labour since the 2024 general election. Reform UK is targeting seats across England and Wales as it seeks to convert its national poll ratings into parliamentary representation.
