Local elections results LIVE: Nightmare for Starmer as Farage set for huge gains | Politics | News
The local election results will be โabsolute annihilationโ for Labour, Reformโs home affairs spokesperson has said.
Zia Yusuf said: โThese are the most important elections in this countryโs history, and I think this is going to be a historic set of results and an extraordinary set of results for Reform.
โReform swept the board in the local elections last May. This time around, I think weโre going to do extremely well.
โI think the other really important thing about this is that we are used to in our lifetimes Labour or the Conservative Party winning majorities in general elections with north of 40% of the vote.
โAnd I think now, they are going to struggle to get 40% between them, and I donโt think theyโre coming back. I think the Greens are going to eat a lot into Labour.
โI think Reform are going to eat a lot into Labour.
โKeep an eye on those Labour heartlands, you know, in the Red Wall. Those areas, I think, are going to move decisively turquoise. I think thereโs going to be a turquoise wave throughout that area.โ
