Remember me
The Greens have beaten Labour in the Hackney mayoralty to mark the party's first major win in the local election
Zoe Garbett declared 'today we start a fightback' as she was elected the first non-Labour mayor in the borough since the role was created in 2002.
The mayoralty was identified as one of the Greens top targets heading into the election with Zack Polanski's party receiving 5,720 votes to Labour's 26,865.
Meanwhile, Reform has taken control of Essex County Council from the Conservatives after securing at least 40 of the 78 seats up for election.
It comes after Nigel Farage boasted both Labour and the Conservatives face being 'wiped out' in the local election results marking what he described as a 'historic shift' in UK politics.
Meanwhile Sir Keir Starmer has vowed to stand at the next election despite a calamitous night for Labour which has led to calls inside his own party whether he can remain as Prime Minister.
