US Edition‘Apocalyptic’: Tory wipeout as Nigel Farage storms English councils
- Nigel Farage's Reform UK achieved major success in the 2025 English local elections, securing over 600 seats and gaining majority control in ten councils across the country.
- The party’s rise followed a collapse in Conservative support, as the Tories lost all 15 councils they previously held and both major parties lost two thirds of their seats.
- Reform UK won mayoral positions in Greater Lincolnshire and Hull, captured a parliamentary seat by overturning a substantial Labour majority in a by-election, and increased its representation across 23 councils under striking circumstances.
- Farage described the results as an “apocalypse” for the Conservative Party and declared these local elections the “end of two-party politics,” emphasizing that people are sick of the old system.
- The outcomes raise serious questions about Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch’s position and suggest a shifting political landscape with unknown long-term effects on UK party dominance.
