Local elections results LIVE: Nightmare for Starmer as Farage set for huge gains | Politics | News


The local election results will be โ€œabsolute annihilationโ€ for Labour, Reformโ€™s home affairs spokesperson has said.

Zia Yusuf said: โ€œThese are the most important elections in this countryโ€™s history, and I think this is going to be a historic set of results and an extraordinary set of results for Reform.

โ€œReform swept the board in the local elections last May. This time around, I think weโ€™re going to do extremely well.

โ€œI 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.

โ€œAnd I think now, they are going to struggle to get 40% between them, and I donโ€™t think theyโ€™re coming back. I think the Greens are going to eat a lot into Labour.

โ€œI think Reform are going to eat a lot into Labour.

โ€œKeep an eye on those Labour heartlands, you know, in the Red Wall. Those areas, I think, are going to move decisively turquoise. I think thereโ€™s going to be a turquoise wave throughout that area.โ€
