In a seismic political shift, Nigel Farage's Reform UK has upended Britain's political landscape by securing 677 council seats and gaining control of 10 councils in the 2025 local elections. This unprecedented victory saw Reform UK surpass both Labour and the Conservatives, signaling a potential end to traditional two-party dominance. Farage's party also clinched a narrow parliamentary by-election win in Runcorn and Helsby. Capitalizing on public dissatisfaction over immigration, economic policies, and governance, Reform UK's rise reflects a broader populist trend reshaping British politics.

Fuller said the Tories must rebuild trust ahead of future elections. Report by Covellm. Like us on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/itn and follow us on Twitter at http://twitter.com/itn
