Why would they screw up? Farage has been very careful with his selection process this time around, and they are pledged to make local authorities more efficient wherever possible. This should be easier in councils previously run by Labour.
Financial savings will not be the priority until they are forming a Reform UK government, because something like 75% of the budget is spent on social care and most of the remainder is on other statutory services, which have to be performed as dictated by central government. All Reform can deliver until they are forming GE is these same services, delivered as efficiently as possible.
