Nigel Farage launches Reform UK's local election campaign: 'A referendum on Keir Starmer's premiership!'

Nigel Farage has launched Reform UK’s local election campaign in Sunderland, which he declared would be “a referendum on Keir Starmer’s premiership”.

The Clacton MP took to the stage and set out his party’s pitch to the people of the North East in the upcoming votes.

He characterised the area as one where the Labour Party “have held sway in local government” and had sent MPs to Westminster “since pretty much the end of World War One”.

Speaking to the crowd, Mr Farage predicted that the North East would now be where the Prime Minister could be dealt a crushing electoral blow.
