Premiärminister Keir Starmer meddelade på fredagen att han stannar kvar på sin post trots tunga nederlag för Labourpartiet i Storbritanniens lokalval. Resultaten visade på betydande framgångar för Nigel Farages parti Reform UK runtom i England.

Väljarna riktade kritik mot Starmer i torsdagens val, som omfattade omkring 5 000 mandat i England samt val i Skottland och Wales. Labour förlorade fler än 470 platser i kommunfullmäktige, medan Reform UK säkrade över 700 vinster, enligt BBC. Det populistiska partiet tog kontrollen över Essex County Council, Suffolk County Council och London-stadsdelen Havering.
