The Conservative party ran in the last election, they didn't run in this election, so more right wing voters likely moved from Conservative to Farage than he got 110% of his normal core/base.

I saw a Sankey diagram from exit polls that showed that lots of Conservatives voted for Farage, but some Reform voted for Binface. Can't find it again though because Twitter sucks.

I saw someone interviewed who said that they supported Reform but couldn't vote for Farage. Which is particularly odd as Reform is _basically_ the Nigel Farage party; it wouldn't survive losing him.

I thought there wasn’t exit polls in this particular by-election?
