Sir Keir Starmer has been forced to abandon his plan to cancel local elections for 4.5 million voters after Nigel Farage launched legal action in the High Court.
Labour had approved postponing polls in 30 local authorities, citing the Ministry of Housing & Local Government’s drastic restructuring of councils.
However, ministers today confirmed that the legislation would be revoked after the department received legal advice warning that the potential postponement could be deemed illegal.
