This is one of my hobbies (I’ve always enjoyed a bit of research), and we’re all a little bit (or a lot) on the "spectrum"… :D

There is no way of contacting the company on the website - no phone number(s), no email address(es), no "Contact Us" web-page where potential customers can enter details.
Strangely, if you view the website on a mobile device you can phone or email from tabs on the foot of the screen. So maybe more cockup than conspiracy in this aspect?

A cock-up borne out of a need to produce a website in a hurry perhaps.

The site is built using services from Wix. It hasn’t been done especially well, and whoever did it hasn’t even bothered to replace all the placeholder and guidance text in the template with their own stuff. Take the site’s T&Cs page for example: https://www.makerfieldheating.com/blank-2

Maybe I'm missing something here;
Can someone please explain the relevance of all this to Reform UK ?

My take is that the Reform UK Candidate, Robert Kenyon, has set up a business website, presumably to bolster his personal credentials - and has bodged it. I couldn't find his company on the Gas Safe Register and hence there was no way to verify the accreditation of his engineers.

he's done himself no favours at all with that bodge of a website

Which result would be more fun (the country's stuffed anyway)? A Labour win (challenge on Starmer) or a Reform UK win (endless piss-taking all-round)?

EDIT: To clarify, I'm a Farage fan. But if that's the best he could find in Makerfield, then Reform UK might end up as a busted flush. I wonder what OB thinks?

maybe reform don't want to win,they might be happy with labour tearing itself apart with a leadership challenge,and the chaos a burnham gov could unleash prior to a general election,politics is a dirty business.

Good call. What does OB think?

No, the worst result for Labour would be to lose a by-election they should win with a candidate that is seen as one of their best. There would still be a leadership election, but Labour will be in complete panic. Reform would have shown they can take these kinds of seats, and it would be a huge boost for them. It would show they really would win an election.

I think you've gone around the bend if you think Reform are trying to throw this. They've just screwed it up.

Tbf System Restore is one of the best features of Windows, so it gets my vote too ;)

I'd love that Makerfield thing to be won by one of those silly independents, you know the sort, they dress silly, the party has a ridiculously funny (to them) name, and their main policy is free Pie & chips to the over 60's if they turn up wearing their first ever school uniform.
