'Britain wants Reform!': Nigel Farage hails 'unprecedented' local election results and says his councils will resist taking asylum seekers

-

 Nigel Farage has declared 'Britain wants Reform' as he boasts of the party's 'unprecedented' results in yesterday's local elections, sparking a political earthquake for Labour and the Conservatives. 

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the Reform Leader hailed: 'In post-war Britain, no one has ever beaten both Labour and the Tories in a local election before. These results are unprecedented.'

The Liberal Democrats previously surpassed Labour on the estimated national equivalent share of the vote from 1979 to 2023 by one per cent, according to a UK Parliament report.

Reform UK's current national share estimate stand at 32 per cent, following analysis of 1067, of 1,400 voting areas, while Labour has 19 percent and the Conservatives follow closely - behind by only one point. 

In what has been dubbed a 'Reform-quake', the local election results saw the Tories lose every council - 676 seats in total - as it found itself squeezed between Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats, while Labour saw 186 seats slip away. 

The jubilant Reform party now runs a swath of big authorities for the first time - securing majorities on Kent, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Lancashire county councils after a Conservative collapse.

In the Runcorn & Helby by-election, the party gained a new MP, Sarah Pochin, while elsewhere in Greater Lincolnshire they scored their very first metro mayor, former Conservative MP, Dame Andrea Jenkyns.

It comes as Farage vowed to reject migrants from Reform-run councils as he promises to make Trump-style cuts across local governments, slashing work from home jobs and positions in climate change and diversity.

  Prince Harry's security issues were 'examined repeatedly' by the courts,   Buckingham Palace   has said in a blunt response to his claims it was an 'establishment stitch-up'.  The  Duke of Sussex  tonight launched a series of scathing attacks on the  Royal Family , saying he has been cut off from  King Charles  who 'won't speak to him'.  He revealed that he 'doesn't know how long his father has left', will not bring his wife or children back to the UK - and said he had had 'so many disagreements' with his family, some of whom 'may never forgive' him for writing a book.

  Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Royal Family were keen to put on a show of unity.  But their choice of display has been described by Kate as 'one of the hardest things' she has ever had to do -  and Meghan hasn't been seen on UK soil since.  During the national mourning period,  Prince Harry  and  Prince William  observed the tributes and spoke to members of the public outside Windsor Castle   - just as they had outside of Buckingham Palace when their mother died.

The shocking reason the Spice Girls have reunited WITHOUT Victoria Beckham: Insiders tell KATIE HIND how the band are back rehearsing and are even planning a tour... but haven't bothered to get in touch with Posh

  It may come as a surprise that, as the band are busily trying to put together another reunion tour, there is still one name missing from the line-up: Victoria, the most famous of all the Spice Girls.  So what's the reason for her being left out of the band's current project, which they hope will culminate into a string of concerts across the globe next year?  https://amzn.to/3YdCV0X For after decades of tension and animosity, the four other Spice Girls - Mel B, Mel C, Geri Horner and Emma Bunton - are again back working with their creator and former manager.  It's all in the hope that the foursome can embark on a potentially lucrative tour to mark the 30th anniversary of their 1996 debut single, Wannabe, next year.
