British voters cast ballots Thursday in local and regional elections that could shake up the country’s politics and deliver a heavy blow to embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Starmer’s center-left Labour Party is bracing for big losses in polls that will choose about 5,000 local councilors and a handful of mayors across England, as well as semiautonomous parliaments in Scotland and Wales. They are the biggest set of elections since Labour swept to power in a landslide in July 2024, and Starmer’s opponents have painted them as a midterm referendum on the prime minister.
Polls closed at 10 p.m. (2100 GMT), and some local authorities will count ballots overnight, but the bulk of the results are likely to be declared on Friday afternoon.
A rout could trigger moves by restive Labour lawmakers to oust a leader who led them to power less than two years ago. Even if Starmer survives for now, many analysts doubt he will lead the party into the next national election, which must be held by 2029.

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer’s leadership, but for the very future of the party
Britain needs literal annihilation of the people who waged war on it from within, but electoral annihilation would be a good start.
Get rid of Muslims bent on destroying Britain, start with that London f#*ng mayor who is a radical Muslim pretending to be moderate.
Yes but is it too late? It might be.
Yes but you got turbaned Seekhs and dotted Hindooos running Reform.
I fear Reform just means a slower death. They need restore but l don’t think they could get elected in England
Tories lost too. They are both done.
Better them than Muslims.
To late. The EU and Britain are heading to the trash bin of history. They are bankrupt, decades of socialism, illegal alien flood, embracing Islam, welfare, etc. and still flushing taxpayers money ($$$ billions) down the Ukraine toilet...fools.
Their recession is quickly turning into a Depression. No tears.
At this point, it’s merely rearranging the deck chairs on The Titanic.
No mention of Restore in the article.
However did the author miss this...

History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one.
Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain.
A very special day.

“Starmer’s Center Left Labor Party.” There is nothing “center left” about the hard-left Labor Party,
“They are bankrupt, decades of socialism, illegal alien flood, embracing Islam, welfare, etc. and still flushing taxpayers money ($$$ billions) down the Ukraine toilet...fools.”
Russia is not bankrupt, yet.
But, at last! You are seeing the folly of Putin’s war of aggression.
“Their recession is quickly turning into a Depression. No tears.”
How does Russia prevent a depression?
The war drove them into this mess.
Stopping the war machine will further worsen the situation.
Answer: They won't. It's too late to deport them. They must be forced out if it can even be done. They won't leave willingly. New laws law or a popular vote won't do it.
The obvious step if they choose sovereignty and political and personal freedom is a bloody civil war and rivers of blood. Otherwise, it is rapid degeneration into forced conversion, dhimmitude, or slavery of the native populations - just like every other conquered people in the Umma.
