A pollster has warned that Labour is on course for “very, very large” losses in the upcoming May local elections which may well decide the fate for both Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves.
Lord Hayward has warned that Labour will face a humiliating results and will be hit with a “battering in the Scottish Parliament,” defeat in the Welsh Senedd and across England.
Lord Haward said there will be a “cacophony of winners,” and that the Tories will also lose seats and warned that Labour could well be on course for “one hell of a battering” in Scotland and the Greens, SNP and Reform could do well, including pro-Gaza Independent.
The Conservative peer said, “A few months ago, it looked as if May 7 would be decisive for the leaderships of both Labour and Conservatives.
“As we move into 2026, it now looks as if the May elections could decide the fate of Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, but it is less clear that that will be the case for Kemi Badenoch.”
