The Lib Dems won many resounding victories and the Greens doubled their number of councillors, but the election story is all and only about Farage and Reform UK.
Such blind allegiances and idolatry must be called out. Facts matter. The ever-smiling millionaire Farage needs to answer some key questions; his voters need to come down to earth.
In 2013, a letter written 30 years prior by a teacher at his old private school, Dulwich College, and obtained by Channel 4, raised concerns over his antics when at school, including allegations of him professing “racist and neo-fascist views” and belting out Hitler Youth songs (all of which Farage denied).
Last month, the National Education Union, the UK’s largest teaching union, called Reform UK “far-right and racist”. And its leader, Daniel Kebede, described Farage as “a pound shop Donald Trump”.
Other than opposing the winter fuel allowance cut, his record in Parliament is abysmal. Many of his constituents are dismayed by his opposition to workers’ rights, after Reform refused to support the Government’s Employment Rights Bill. Makers of electric vehicles are furious about Farage’s Luddite views on environmental damage.
Those who backed Reform recently need to know that Farage is an out and out Trumpian. That his party believes in low taxes for the rich and a decimated welfare system. That he is using common folk as fodder.
Another issue inadequately examined is his pledge to create a “British Doge in every county” – Elon Musk’s unit that is burning and slashing the civil service, generating a massive crisis for those reliant on state services. Is that what Reform will push for in the councils they have got into?

Read MoreThe leaders of the two main parties also have serious questions to answer. Why are Keir Starmer and Kemi Badenoch so intimidated by tricksy Farage?
Rather than take on the disruptive and destructive party, the Tories and Labour are recycling Reform populism. The nasty party will define the UK and our democracy will soon be a sham unless we get a coalition of those able and willing to stop the menace. But who will dare take that first step?
