Hard right Reform UK wins local election in blow to PM Starmer
Hard-right upstarts Reform UK snatched a parliamentary seat from Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour party in local elections that dealt a blow to Britain’s two establishment parties. Reform, led by anti-immigrant firebrand Nigel Farage, won the by-election in Runcorn and Helsby in northwest England by just six votes. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in London, Bénédicte Paviot.
