LONDON — Early results Friday from nationwide elections in Britain suggested a historic drubbing for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labour Party and sweeping gains for hard-right Reform U.K., led by Trump ally Nigel Farage.
Though many results were still coming in Friday morning, the overall picture will heap pressure on Starmer, an unpopular leader beset by speculation his colleagues may move against him.
“The results are tough, they are very tough, and there’s no sugarcoating it,” Starmer said Friday.
But he dismissed calls for him to stand down.

The majority is not ‘hard right’. It is, by definition, mainstream.
Mainly that local elections occurred for maybe 30% of GB and Reform took massive wins while Labour lost Wales (which it always traditionally won) and Tories lost the midlands (which it always traditionally won).
Many of the hard left Labour fled to the Greens. Starmer will probably be forced out sooner or later, but Labour will do its best to continue destroying GB until 2029 when major national elections occur.
Awww, sounds like NBC London has their panties in a twist, freaking out over "the return of fascism" again.
What’s the difference between the “far” right and the “hard” right?
Losers all? United Islamic kingdumb soon. 😳🕋
Still confused...Who are the Republicans and who are the Democrats/socialists/communists/progressives?
Hard right=folks with common sense.
but will the Labour Party give Starman the BOOT ?
It’s NBC. Anything to the right of Bernie is far right.
If you are anti gang rape then you’re ‘hard right’.
everything is “hard right” compared to the unrepentant trotskyist Keir Starmer.
You don’t hate the MSM enough
I wonder if this will lead to a no confidence vote?
But, but, International law! Starmer now has the shelf life of warm tuna salad.
Meanwhile, what the enemedia isn’t telling you...

as usual, the fake stream propaganda media labels the conservative side as “hard-right” but completely fails to label the hard-left Starmer as hard-left ...
Only article I can find so far mentioning Restore’s victory...
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/local-elections-2026-results-mapped-37118031
...and you have to scroll way down in the article to find it.
The UK’s Deep State isn’t afraid of Farage.
But Restore scares the excrement out of it.
Tories/Conservatives - had power years ago but squandered it by looking like fools partying during COVID and letting illegals in, so voter turn-out last national elections was horrible for them leading to...
Labour/Liberals - now has power but still very unpopular as Starmer has let in illegals at an even faster rate and is arresting people for negative facebook remarks
Reform/Maga - Reform is kind of like MAGA but no one knows what they will do when they take over. Farage was one of the main reasons Brexit occurred in 2016.
Greens - Slimy commies
NDL - Center/left, some Labour has fled here.
The hard left was wiped out.
