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.
Reform UK will aim to halve crime in five years if the party gets into government, Nigel Farage has announced. Speaking at a press conference in Westminster on Monday, Mr Farage said: āReform will be the toughest party on law and order and on crime that this country has ever seen.'' Report by Gluszczykm.

When asked whether his party would support lowering the voting age to 16, Reform UK leader said ''No, even though we'd get lots of votes''. Mr Farage also added 16 years olds should only be allowed to vote when they are allowed to stand for Parliament.
