Kirklees Council election results in full: Reform UK is largest party as Labour loses all of its seats

Labour failed to win a single seat, as Reform UK and the Greens made significant gains on the council.

Reform, which previously had no representation on the council, is now the largest party with 29 seats.

The Independents are the second biggest group, with 14 seats, followed by the Greens who gained eight seats to now have 12.

The Conservatives are down to nine seats after losing seven, while the Lib Dems now have five seats after losing four.

Among the political casualties were the leaders of the Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem groups, who all lost their seats.

Labour’s council leader Carole Pattison failed to defend her Greenhead seat, Conservative group leader David Hall lost his Liversedge and Gomersal seat, and Lib Dem group leader John Lawson was ousted in Cleckheaton.

Reform won a clean sweep in Heckmondwike, Dewsbury East, and Liversedge and Gomersal, while all the seats in Batley East, Batley West and Dewsbury West are now held by Independents.

In Cleckheaton, long-serving Lib Dem councillors Kath and Andrew Pinnock held their seats, with the third seat being won by Reform’s Michael Howard.

Joshua Sheard and Liz Smaje defended their Birstall and Birkenshaw seats for the Conservatives, with Philip James winning the third seat for Reform.

Reform gained two seats in Mirfield, while long-serving Conservative councillor Martyn Bolt retained his seat in the ward.

And Reform also picked up a seat in Dewsbury South.

Turnout across Kirklees was 42.5 per cent.
