Farage's Reform UK Shatters UK Politics, Overtakes Labour & Tories in Historic Local Election Sweep
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.
Sir Keir Starmer hosted a meeting of the Council of Nations and Regions before holding separate talks with First Ministers on Friday. MPs including Reform's Andrea Jenkyns and Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham hailed the talks as "really constructive" as they departed Downing Street.

Keir Starmerâs government is facing strong criticism after agreeing to a deal that allows EU fishing vessels continued access to UK waters for 12 more years. Scottish fishermen and politicians have slammed the agreement as a betrayal, calling it a âhorror showâ that endangers local communities and the fishing industry. The Scottish Government and opposition parties accuse UK ministers of ignoring devolved consent and sacrificing fishermenâs interests for political gain. Critics warn the deal risks harming coastal economies and undermines post-Brexit sovereignty.
