Angela Rayner’s confirmation that nine councils will no longer go to polls this year has sparked fury from Nigel Farage.
The Reform UK leader took to social media after the announcement to accuse the Government of behaving like a “dictator” and called on supporters to sign a petition to help “save democracy”.

While voters in Cumbria, Cheshire and Warrington, Greater Essex, Hampshire and Solent, Norfolk and Suffolk, and Sussex and Brighton will no longer be going to the polls this May, millions will still have the opportunity to have their say.
It will provide Britons with their first opportunity to register their views on the new Government and their local services.
The election will be a huge risk for both the Tories and Labour, but Reform and the Liberal Democrats could win big.

READ MORE: Angela Rayner sparks fury as local elections cancelled for nine council areas
Angela Rayner has said nine local elections will be delayed until next year (Image: Getty)
These councils were last fought in 2021, when the Tories were riding high under Boris Johnson thanks to the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine.
This means that despite Labour’s tanking poll ratings, Kemi Badenoch is set for the biggest bruising on May 1.
Electoral Calculus, a political consultancy, has published forecasts suggesting the Conservatives are on course to lose 460 seats.
By contrast, Labour could gain 290 seats, Reform 275 and the Lib Dems 88.
The Greens could also lose three dozen seats.
