8:59Now PlayingA discussion focuses on Reform UK’s rapid local-election rise from fewer than 50 councillors to nearly 2,500, claiming to have won a million more votes than Labour across areas including Wales, Scotland and the North East, and performing strongly in Sunderland and deprived wards. Darren Grimes argues voters backed Reform due to concerns about net zero driving high energy bills, illegal migration and housing pressures, and shrinking household finances. He dismisses warnings about inexperienced councillors, citing Durham council’s claimed efficiencies and a 1.99% council tax approach, while disputing accusations it relied on reserves and debating settlements and SEN deficits. The exchange includes a clash over green-energy jobs and public subsidies, and ends with Grimes predicting Reform can sustain success and that Labour figures like Kim McGuinness will be “one-term”.
