Reform looks set for success in local elections, but government insiders say they aren’t chasing Farage with approach
Labour is under no illusions about how difficult Thursday’s local elections will be for the government.
Nigel Farage’s Reform is on course to take hundreds of council seats and is ahead in the race for two mayoralties. Keir Starmer has not even campaigned in the Runcorn and Helsby byelection, such is the expectation of defeat.
