Nigel Farage calls local election 'referendum' on politics
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has called the upcoming local elections a 'referendum on our entire political class'. He promised local policies, including changes to council tax, and aims to turn the party's opinion poll lead into votes.
Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, launched the party's campaign in Sunderland. He promised local policies, including changes to council tax. Reform UK claims to have found £700 million in savings across its 12 councils without cutting frontline services. Opposition councillors dispute this claim, citing closures of care homes and adult education services in Reform-run Derbyshire. The party aims to add to its 677 councillors elected last year. The local elections will take place on May 7.
