Farage’s claims misrepresent the situation. The elections aren’t being cancelled, but rather delayed while the councils are restructured from a two tier to a one tier system. https://mhclgmedia.blog.gov.uk/2025/01/09/reporting-on-local-elections/ This isn’t unusual, and happened in 2021 in councils in North Yorkshire, Cumbria, and Somerset. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/proposals-for-unitary-local-government-in-cumbria-north-yorkshire-and-somerset

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1877852040941945040
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
