Farage wishes Reform 'hadn't bothered' to take control of Worcestershire
Reform councillors approved the UK's highest council tax rise at 9% to balance budgets with £59.9 million government aid after inheriting near bankruptcy.
- Nigel Farage has expressed regret over Reform UK’s victory in the Worcestershire County Council elections, suggesting that the party may have been better off avoiding the complexities of local governance.

- While critics view these comments as an attempt to distance the party from the challenges of governing, Farage maintains that the move has placed an undue burden on Reform's resources at a critical time for their broader movement.
