Counting is continuing across England and Scotland in a set of votes for local councils and mayors, MSPs and Welsh MSs. Reform have made major gains in England, Labour has been wiped out in Wales and things are so bad for Labour that Madeline Grant has been moved to ask: Is it time to start feeling sorry for Keir Starmer?

In England, Labour lost control of Tameside – in Angela Rayner’s constituency – for the first time in 47 years, shedding 16 seats as Reform gained 18. Voters were keen to kick Starmer and turnout rose from 30 per cent to 40 per cent. Wigan saw a similar increase in participation – and Labour lost all 20 seats it was defending to Reform while its vote share halved from 52 per cent to 24 per cent, with Reform taking 46 per cent.

Last night it was reported that Ed Miliband has urged Starmer to set out a timeline for his departure. Starmer told Sky News this morning that he’s ‘not going to walk away’ – and said he would seek to remain as prime minister at the next general election. According to Michael Thrasher, the council results so far imply that Labour would win just 15 per cent of the vote in a general election.

England

Early results in England showed that the era of five-party politics is resulting in more councils moving from domination by one party to no overall control.

Mayors

Votes took place yesterday for six directly-elected mayors in London and Hertfordshire. The first result, in Hackney, saw the Greens’ Zoë Garbett beat Labour incumbent Caroline Woodley to become her party’s first elected mayor. After all the results were in, the Greens had won two mayors, while the Conservatives, Labour and Lib Dems each held on to one, as did Lutfur Rahman in Tower Hamlets.

Scotland

The SNP are forecast to win 58 of Holyrood’s 129 seats. They have secured 56, with 37 yet to declare. Almost all of the remaining seats are from regional lists, in the Highlands and Islands, Glasgow, West Scotland, Central Scotland and South Scotland. SNP culture and external affairs secretary Angus Robertson has lost his Edinburgh Central seat to the Greens, who made his their first-ever Holyrood constituency.

Wales

Plaid Cymru has won 43 seats in Wales’s 96-member parliament and Labour has been almost wiped out, losing power for the first time since 1999. Welsh Labour leader Eluned Morgan lost her seat and announced that she is standing down as leader of the party. In this election, Wales used a proportional system with six members elected from party lists in each of 16 constituencies. Even though Morgan was at the top of Labour’s list in Ceredigion Penfro, she failed to get a seat. Plaid Cymru won 31,943 votes and secured three MSs, Reform 23,003 votes and two MSs, and the Conservatives 14,789 votes and one MS. Labour got just 6,495 votes.
