“REFORM have taken a handful of councils across Britain”
MISLEADING
The claim states Reform 'took' councils, which implies winning overall control of the local government. However, the BBC evidence explicitly states that in Hyndburn, 'no party secured the 18 seat majority required to take control of the council,' despite Reform gaining seats.
