A complete disgrace! Reform mayoral candidate lashes out at Labour and says Keir Starmer 'fears' losing to Nigel Farage

Nigel Farage, the Reform Party's mayoral candidate for Greater Essex, fired a warning at the Labour Party on Jan 25, 2026, claiming the party delayed the upcoming local elections to avoid an imminent loss of power. He accused the Labour leadership, particularly Sir Keir Starmer, of fearing defeat after recent polls indicate that Labour could lose majorities in over ten councils and halve its seats in the next election cycle. Farage said that the delay was "a complete disgrace" and that Labour was playing "politics of delay". The mayoral race begins on March 6, 2026, with elections set for May 4, 2026, and the Greater Essex borough is a key battleground in the 2024–26 council weather.
