The Labour Party just suffered a massive loss; so far, the count has shown them losing a ton of seats in the local elections in the United Kingdom.
Control of 136 local authorites in England, as well as the devolved parliaments in Scotland and Wales, were up for grabs Thursday. While many commentators had expected Labour to suffer heavy defeats amid public discontent with the economy, immigration and Starmer himself, partial results indicated the party was on track to take worse losses than even the most pessimistic predictions suggested.
What was even better was who won, as we reported, referencing some harsh cope from the New York Times:
For more than a year, opinion polls have indicated that Reform U.K., the right-wing populist party, was Britain’s most popular party as its leader, Nigel Farage, imitated President Trump’s anti-immigration agenda and railed against the Labour government.
Now, it’s looking increasingly official.

Funny how people don’t like unchecked immigration and the problems that come with that, among the other problems that the leftist Labour Party and Prime Minister Keir Starmer embraced. Labour lost even in places that had traditionally been their strongholds, which indicates they’ve lost the workers.
The mess in the U.K. is where we could be heading if we had continued along the Democrat path and elected Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump.
So if you’re Prime Minister Keir Starmer, what you would traditionally do is resign, and someone more in line with what the people want would emerge.
But instead of doing that, listen as Starmer indicates he’s not resigning and he’s just going to double down on what has already failed.
These are tough results for Labour. There’s no sugarcoating it. We’ve lost brilliant Labour representatives who’ve stood up for their communities.
People are still frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough. We haven’t offered enough hope or optimism for the future.

I was elected to change this country – tough days like this don’t weaken my determination to do that. They strengthen it.
He’s going to “lay out the steps” for the change that people want. You know that he and his party haven’t delivered during the time they’ve already been in office. Don’t worry, they really mean it this time.
Starmer is too cowardly to do the right thing. He’s more concerned with his own power. We’ve already seen how feckless Starmer is in relation to his response on Iran, failing to stand with us properly to deal with a terrorist regime.

But if he stays, he’s likely to make Labour even weaker.
Starmer was ratioed for being so clueless and cowardly. Rightly so.
Oh Keir, you learnt nothing. It is not about offering “more (false) hope”.
It is about alienating your own base: calling them far-right for waving a British flag, and racist or “Islamophobic” for opposing terrorism or uncontrolled borders.https://t.co/6hqDCiMo3g

“People are frustrated. Their lives aren’t changing fast enough.”
Whaaat?
Life has changed out of all recognition for many people in the UK, and not in a good way.
