Reform UK was the clear winner of the 2026 UK local elections, securing a historic shift in British politics by gaining 1,448 seats across England and becoming the largest party by seat count. The governing Labour Party suffered its worst-ever local election performance, losing 1,421 seats and falling to third place in England, while the Conservative Party also saw significant declines, losing 559 seats.

 

Key outcomes include:

 

Reform UK gained control of 10 councils in England and won the mayoralty in Havering, marking its first London council control.

The Green Party achieved its best-ever result, gaining 384 seats and taking control of three councils, including winning mayoralties in Hackney and Lewisham.

Plaid Cymru made a seismic gain in Wales, becoming the largest party in the Senedd with 43 of 96 seats, ending Labour's century-long dominance in Welsh local elections.

In Scotland, the SNP retained its position as the largest party in Holyrood with 58 seats but fell short of an overall majority.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged the losses as a "tough warning" but refused to resign, while Nigel Farage hailed the results as a "truly historic shift" for his party.

On May 9, 2026, Prime Minister Keir Starmer appointed former Prime Minister Gordon Brown as his Special Envoy on Global Finance and former Deputy Labour Leader Baroness Harriet Harman as his Adviser on Women and Girls. These part-time, unpaid roles were announced to help shore up Starmer’s position following devastating losses in local and devolved elections, where Labour lost over 1,100 council seats in England and control of the Welsh Senedd.

 

Gordon Brown will leverage his international stature to advise on how global financial cooperation can boost UK security and resilience, particularly regarding defense investment and relations with Europe ahead of the UK’s G20 presidency in 2027.

 

Baroness Harriet Harman will work with ministers to tackle violence against women and girls, improve job prospects, increase representation in public life, and drive cultural shifts within the Civil Service and ministerial offices. Starmer described the appointments as "future-looking" moves aimed at rebuilding trust and setting a clear path forward after the electoral setback.
