in Featured World News Nigel Farage’s Reform Sweeps U.K. Regional Elections, Overturning Massive Labour Majorities
Nigel Farage’s conservative Reform Party has swept local elections across the United Kingdom.
While the full results have yet to be counted, Reform made huge gains across the country, picking up hundreds of local councillors and winning important special elections.
Among the races they won was the Lincolnshire mayoral race, which was won by Dame Andrea Jenkyns, a former Conservative MP who defected from her former party.
However, the most important victory of the night came in the Runcorn by-election, where the Reform overturned a massive Labour majority and ended up winning by just six votes.
