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.
Richard Tice has announced Reform UK's plans to overhaul council-controlled pension funds. In a press conference delivered on Monday, the deputy leader of Reform UK said "it's the council taxpayer who is being ripped off" as he vowed to slash council tax bills by Ā£350 a year.
