In the recent UK local elections, Nigel Farage (former leader of the UK Independence Party) announced an 'historic change in British politics' as his Reform UK party made significant gains, capturing hundreds of council seats. This surge has come at a considerable cost to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour Party, which is now facing scrutiny less than two years after its previous electoral victory.
