The party expects to increase councillor numbers for an unprecedented eighth consecutive local election cycle. Lib Dem strategists are targeting tactical voters opposed to Reform UK, believing around half of voters will block Farage's party.

The government won the vote 335 to 223, with opposition parties including the Liberal Democrats, SNP and Reform uniting in favour of the referral. Some Labour backbenchers expressed anger at being placed in a position where they would appear complicit in a cover-up.
