 I see this as a rebuke of the Torys - lowest number of seats in 200 years but it doesn't appear to be an endorsement for Reform. Labour (centre left) represents more social programs, whereas Farage's Reform UK campaigned on Nationalism, more like Trump's message.

I agree, Brexit set the table for Trump's surprising win in 2016, the common thread in this is again Farage.

To me it looks like Britain is bucking the trend that France set.  Who knows anymore? I think that was the objective of the past 8 years or so, confuse, incite, distract.
