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.
‘I’ve never experienced such negativity and soul-destroying campaigns against me. The dirty tricks in US politics are being imported here in Britain.’

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.
Thank you Runcorn & Helsby.
Enough Tory failures, enough Labour lies.
Reform UK is the party of change.

Similar to the GOP, Reform’s policies including deporting all illegal immigrants, cutting taxes, ending Net Zero, eliminating DEI and reasserting a sense of national pride.
Farage, who is a big supporter of Donald Trump, wrote on the X platform that Reform is “now the opposition party to this Labour government.”
Victory in Runcorn & Helsby proves we are now the opposition party to this Labour government.
With this and other results tonight, it’s clear that if you vote Conservative you will get Labour.
But if you vote Reform, you get Reform.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party reported massive losses, less than a year after winning a landslide victory following the collapse of the widely unpopular Conservative Party.
Despite being called “The Conservative Party,” the organization is actually a center to center-left globalist coalition that supports mass immigration, net zero and woke ideology.
While Reform currently only has five MPs, national polls indicate that they are well positioned to win hundreds of seats at the next general election.

Should the party continue to thrive, there is a very real chance the Nigel Farage could well become Britain’s next Prime Minister.
