9:40:04Now PlayingLabour leader Keir Starmer has scrapped plans to delay around 30 local council elections after a Reform UK legal threat, handing Nigel Farage a “democracy” win that reinforces Reform’s outsider, anti-Starmer narrative ahead of the polls. Nigel Farage repeatedly called it “a victory for freedom and democracy” and “a victory for Reform UK,” saying 4.6 million council taxpayers were about to be denied a vote until his party took Labour to court.
He boasted “we took this Labour government to court and won,” claimed the government “tried to cancel democracy,” and argued ministers only backed down because their own lawyers knew the delays were likely illegal. He also used the moment to demand local government secretary Steve Reed’s resignation, saying attempting to cancel people’s votes while still charging them council tax is a “resigning matter.”
