In Barnsley, south Yorkshire, 50 years of Labour rule ended on Friday with Reform UK taking control.

Voters in the area said they wanted to see change, with one saying Labour had abandoned the working class.

For others, a dislike for Keir Starmer was their main motivation when casting their vote. BBC’s UK editor Ed Thomas reports from Barnsley.
