Labour could lose nearly 1,600 council seats at the local elections even on a good night, new research suggests.
In a best-case scenario, Labour could still lose 1,597 council seats across England and nearly 2,000 seats in the worst-case – in a set of local election results that could seal Keir Starmer’s fate as PM.
Labour currently has 2,196 councillors across the seats up for election, meaning a good result for the party would still leave the party’s number of locally elected representatives dwindling in the hundreds.
Labour is also on track to come third in both the Scottish and Welsh elections, the polling shows.
With less than a month until voters head to the polls, three in four Brits think things are getting worse under Labour.
And Sir Keir remains by far the least liked political leader among voters the research reveals, with a net approval score of -43. Kemi Badenoch is the most admired leader on -13.
This comes as Sir Keir is fighting for his political survival after it emerged Peter Mandelson had failed security vetting for the post of US Ambassador but was appointed regardless.
In a lukewarm show of support for the embattled Prime Minister, Scottish Secretary Douglas Alexander said yesterday he expected Sir Keir to lead Labour into the next general election, ‘but there are no certainties’ in politics.
Reform UK stand to gain from Labour’s deepening unpopularity, with Nigel Farage’s party predicted to gain between 1273 and 1603 seats, the research from polling firm More in Common suggests. The party currently has 78 local councillors across the seats to be contested next month.
And the research shows Labour potentially losing control of Sunderland City Council – which has been held by Labour since its formation.

Oops, I just checked and Starmer uncancelled the previously cancelled local elections for about 4 million voters the day before the Reform Party's lawsuit over the issue was going to court back in February.
Master of Laketown: All this talk of change must be suppressed. I can’t afford to let them rebel, band together and start making noises. The next thing you know, they’ll start asking questions, forming committees, launching inquiries.
Alfrid Lickspittle: Out with the old, in with the new.
Master of Laketown: What?
Alfrid Lickspittle: That’s what they’ve been saying, sire. There is even talk of an election.
Master of Laketown: An election? That’s absurd. I won’t stand for it.
THIS IS ALL PRESIDENT TRUMP‘S FAULT. HE’S BROUGHT THIS HORRIBLE OUTCOME HOPEFULLY TO THE BRITISH PEOPLE.
This is good news. Maybe the average Brit is finally waking up.
But unfortunately it will not change the makeup of the House of Commons, where Labour has a huge majority.
And that’s where the real power is.
A lot of people think Labour isn’t far enough to the left.
Too late.
Japan - where I be - “ seems “ to be waking up , however I’m seeing more non-Japanese , mostly young Asian or Indian men , in my area in the suburbs of Kumamoto City . They say parts of the Tokyo area have been bombarded in recent years and that crime , etc. is on the rise . We shall see if the goobermint is all talk no action or not .
No “Western Guilt” in Japan.
