After all the noise about Reform slipping in the polls, and a Green surge, it turns out that the British electorate really, really care about immigration. That’s the only sensible conclusion to draw from the local election results. With high turnout nationwide, including the highest ever for the Welsh Senedd (which Labour have conceded they’ve lost), Reform have surged, and Labour have collapsed. In some ways the results are even flattering Labour. In Wigan, for example, they’ve retained control of the council despite losing all 22 seats which were voted on yesterday, because two-thirds of the seats weren’t up for grabs this time. The British electorate soundly rejected the Tories two years ago, and now it is clear they’re also done with Labour. With bleak irony, today is the day Britain passes a grim milestone: 200,000 illegal migrants have now crossed the Channel since 2018.

The British people are sick of it, they’re sick of Labour and they’re sick of Starmer
