Nigel Farage has accused local authorities of acting like “dictators” as he branded the move to postpone forthcoming local elections as “political cowardice.”
Eleven councils have so far asked to postpone elections this year, ahead of the biggest reorganisation of local government in decades, it is understood.
Mr Farage said: “I thought only dictators cancelled elections.
“What they have done today, what they have done today, is an act of political cowardice. It is denying people their democratic rights. And frankly, I am angry. I think the whole thing is a complete and utter disgrace. I really do.
“But we must not allow what they’ve done to stop or quell our momentum in any way.”
Earlier, Mr Farage turned up the heat on Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over Labour’s refusal to call a national inquiry on the subject of grooming gangs, citing a survey published by YouGov this week, as he posted: “76% of Britons want a national public inquiry into the rape gangs scandal. “
