UK PM Starmer votes in local election expected to deal blow to his party

Millions across the United Kingdom headed to the polls in local and regional elections that are being seen as a key test for Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his Labour Party.

Nearly five thousand council seats are being contested across England, alongside elections in Scotland and wales.

Analysts say the vote could signal a shift in British politics, with smaller populist and nationalist parties challenging the long-standing dominance of labour and the conservatives.
