Labour have taken control of Rushmoor Borough Council for the first time, which Conservatives on the ground blamed on Reform.
Conservatives in Rushmoor have blamed their defeat on Reform, after the council was won by Labour for the first time ever.
“It was a combination of things”, he said. “But ultimately, I think Reform probably undid our vote numbers. Cllr Gareth Williams, a Labour councillor, said the result in Rushmoor showed how people wanted a change.“It's a terrific result”, he said. “It is the first time we have had a Labour led council for Rushmoor in the 50 years of its existence.“People have had 24 years of the Conservatives in power, and they want Labour to deliver a change.”This was good news for Labour deep in the so-called “blue wall” of the traditional Conservative heartland of Hampshire.
Meanwhile, there is “no doubt” that Rishi Sunak will lead the Conservatives into a general election, Richard Holden has said following this result.
