Bruised Tories and Labour left working out how to tackle Reform
- Voters participated in local elections on Thursday, where Reform UK rose significantly, overturning several Conservative and Labour councils and winning multiple metro mayor seats.
- The Conservative and Labour parties both suffered heavy losses, leading to Liberal Democrats gaining control of Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire and Reform UK exceeding expectations.
- Reform UK now holds overall control in eight councils, leads in 12, and narrowly won the Runcorn and Helsby by-election by six votes, highlighting its growing influence.
- The Conservatives lost over 550 council seats with seats reduced from 18 councils to just two, while the Liberal Democrats gained 146 seats and the Greens increased by 36 seats.
- The results boosted Reform’s leader Nigel Farage, who declared a “Reform-quake” and claimed Reform “can and will win the next general election,” while all main parties oppose Reform’s council policies.
