Reform UK took control of 10 local councils, won two mayoral races and added a fifth MP.

Conservatives lost 676 seats and control of all 16 authorities it was defending.

Nigel Farage's party hailed the results as "the end of two -party politics" and "the death of the Conservative party" But some within Labour call for the prime minister to change direction.
