Whether you favor Reform, Greens or the Raving Looney Party - Local Elections should not be delayed. Why are Labour running scared and if they are delayed that?s not democracy and voters will never forgive them! Clearly whoever wins it?s because the majority have stamped their feet and voted - end of!

Reform UK's legal challenge to the government's plan to delay dozens of local council elections scheduled for May will be heard by a court next month.

Nigel Farage's party is taking legal action against the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government (MHCLG) over plans to allow councils to delay elections by a year due to the challenges of the local government reorganisation (LGR) programme.

The case will be heard in full during a two-day hearing from 19 February. Any of the 63 local authorities seeking to be joined as an interested party or seeking permission to intervene must file an application by next Friday.
