A new political scenario has emerged in Great Britain as a result of local elections, which have been nationalized. Parties such as the populist Reform, the Greens and the Liberals replace the traditional Labor and Tory two-party system.
Labor in power received a brutal beating of his own electorate on Thursday in these local elections. A rebellion has started among ministers, deputies and union members Labour for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer to resign. He doesn’t plan to do it or create chaos.
Union leaders and Labor MPs They now demand Starmer’s resignationwarning that the party faces “disappearance” if the prime minister does not resign.
Six Labor MPs, including Louise Haigh and Anneliese Midgley, have called on the Prime Minister to resign before the next election.
The leader of the Unison union claims the Labor Party is “facing oblivion”.
But Starmer could not resign quickly. The project is to impose Andy Burnham, popular mayor of Manchester and former labor minister, who is not yet an MP, as premier. You have to get it before you can be nominated.
Defeat in Wales
The First Minister of Wales has lost her seat in the Senedd and resigned as leader of the Welsh Labor Party. Faced with mounting pressure on Sir Keir Starmer harshly criticized the party’s disastrous results in the local elections.
Baroness Morgan of Ely failed to retain her seat in the Ceredigion Penfro constituency on Friday, becoming the first sitting Welsh leader to lose a Welsh Parliament election.
In a final harsh attack on the Prime Minister, he warned that Sir Keir’s government needs to “change course”.
The Labor Party has led Wales since the creation of the Senedd as the National Assembly for Wales in 1999. It has been the country’s largest party for more than a century.
On Friday morning, Starmer insisted he was “not going to resign.” A speech from the prime minister is expected over the weekend.
Rebellion on the way
Several Labor “turncoats” are ready to jump to Reform, Nigel Farage’s right-wing ultra-populist party, which became the success of this election and won in the red zone, where Brexit was imposed before.
Labor lost Wales, Scotland and places historically in its ranks. The Reform Party also takes control of Barnsley and Sunderland, a blow to the Red Wall.
The Green Party won its second London mayoralty.
Liam Shrivastava was elected in Lewisham after Zoe Garbett’s victory in Hackney.
In the House of Commons and Downing St, the atmosphere is feverish. “Closed-door deals and introspection are the last thing the public wants,” warned a Labor Cabinet minister.
The British people do not “want to hear about deadlines, closed-door deals and introspection”, the official declared, criticizing Labor MPs who are calling for Sir Keir Starmer to resign.
Steve Reed, the housing secretary, said the country did not want the Labor Party to “talk about the Labor Party”. “Let’s get to work,” he wrote in X.
Sir Keir Starmer “won’t leave” despite the Labor Party’s dismal results in local elections, a Home Office official has stressed.
Nigel Farage’s coup
Reform UK has become the majority party in the Tyne and Wear borough, a blow to the traditional Labor stronghold.
Nigel Farage’s party has also emerged victorious in Barnsley, taking control after more than 50 years of Labor government.
The Reform UK leader and personal friend of Donald Trump has said he does not believe Sir Keir Starmer will still be Prime Minister “by mid-summer”.
There is going to be a rebellion. There is going to be a rebellion in the Labor stronghold against Starmer’s mandate,” warned the leader of the populist right. “In fact, we have just launched a campaign with our main slogan: ‘Vote for Reform, Out with Starmer!'” His project is to replace him in Downing St.
Green advance
The Green Party is becoming a political alternative. He has wrested control of Norwich city council, dealing another blow to the Labor Party.
The local administration did not have an absolute majority, with the Labor Party having the most votes with 19 seats and the Greens with 16.
With a third of the city council seats up for grabs on Thursday, Norwich has opted for the Green Party. It is about the first victory of a green party in local elections.
The Scottish Greens have snatched former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon’s former seat in central Glasgow. The pro-independence Scottish SNP won, but they have not achieved a complete majority.
Holly Bruce beat the SNP by more than 3,000 votes in Glasgow Southside, Sturgeon’s former seat, which she had held in her current constituency. Scottish pro-independence supporters won their seats in parliament in Edinburgh.
