LIVE: Runcorn by-election results after Labour MP jailed over late-night brawl
THE polls have officially closed as Labour braces for a pummelling and Farage vows "let's smash the system!".
Votes are now being counted and can no longer be casted for councillors in 23 local authorities.
In a video posted on X this morning, Reform leader Farage said it was a "great day to cause an earthquake in British politics".
He added: "We have brought an upbeat, happy vibrant campaign over the course of the last month. The last polls show we are in the lead."
Today’s elections are predicted to be gruelling for the Tories who could lose up to 500 councillors across England.
Reform are tipped to be the big winners of the night, with a predicted haul of as many as 450 local authority seats.
Farage's party are also favourites to claim the hotly-contested Runcorn by-election - taking what would be their first seat off Labour in a blow to Sir Keir Starmer.
Results expected to trickle in from the early hours of Friday morning.
