I didn't know a lot about him, aside from him breaking party policy over HS2. Since then he's come across as mostly normal, if you ignore a lot of what he said around the time Liz Truss was elected PM. The Tories will probably go back to people like him after they shit the bed after the GE and become a Reform cover band for a few years.
Quite some result that yesterday, especially as an independent candidate attracted so many votes that really split what would have been Labour voters. I'm sure he's a hero to some, but considering he had no chance of winning, it would have just been a massive bout of Tory enabling had it worked.
