Reform UK has made significant gains in the local elections, with several notable victories, including the election of a new mayor in Greater Lincolnshire and a strong showing in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election. The results have been seen as a boost for Nigel Farage's party, with some predicting a significant impact on future general elections. The Conservative Party has vowed not to work with Reform UK despite the losses.
