Let’s be honest: most of us don’t get excited about local councils. They’re usually seen as clunky bureaucracies that can barely keep the bins emptied or deal with a pothole before the next general election.
So, when Reform UK – Nigel Farage’s political outfit – swooped in and took control of 10 councils, it might’ve barely caused a ripple for some. A shoulder shrug here, a sarcastic comment there. But don’t be fooled – this isn’t just some flash in the pan. This was a calculated move, and Farage knew exactly what he was doing. It could well be the chess move that sets up Reform for something much bigger come the next General Election, reported the Express.
