When reality bites: the rapid rise and chaotic fall of Reform UK in Cornwall

Reform UK, led by Nigel Farage, experienced a rapid rise in Cornwall, securing 28 seats in the local elections, the highest number of any party. However, this success was overshadowed by internal turmoil, including resignations and suspensions, which led to a chaotic decline in the party's influence. Farage had previously predicted that Reform UK would become a dominant force in both Cornwall and British politics, but the recent events raise questions about the party's stability and future prospects.
