Trump ally Nigel Farage deals major blow to Starmer in local UK elections as resignation calls mount

The UK's Labour Party is on track to suffer a major defeat in local elections, with Nigel Farage's Reform UK gaining support, prompting calls for Prime Minister Keir Starmer to resign. Labour has already suffered a net loss of nearly 500 local council seats. The party's losses were driven by defections to the right and left.
