Starmer urged to resign as Labour loses hundreds of seats to Reform
Reform UK won 24 of 25 seats in Wigan and Leigh as Labour’s losses fueled calls for Keir Starmer to answer for a nationwide setback.
- On Thursday, Reform UK won 24 of 25 council seats in Wigan and Leigh, with local leader Coun Paul Watson demanding Prime Minister Keir Starmer resign immediately.
- Widespread voter disaffection fueled the result, as Reform capitalized on frustration to win wards Labour had held for over 40 years in what experts call a collapse of the traditional two-party system.
- Leigh and Atherton MP Jo Platt called the result "catastrophic for Labour," stating "They wanted to give us a kicking and they have," while Wigan MP and Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy urged the party to reflect.
- Surveys rank Starmer among the least popular prime ministers in British history, intensifying internal party discussions about potential leadership challenges following the significant electoral losses.
- Reform views the landslide as a strategic path toward controlling Wigan Council by 2027, when another 25 seats will be contested, positioning the party to reshape local governance if successful.
