'BLOODBATH!' - Keir Starmer faces 'ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION' as POLLS CLOSE in local elections

Описание: Keir Starmer is bracing for an election bloodbath with a potential loss of over 1,000 seats.

Some 1,850 Labour seats are expected to be lost in councils across England, according to polling guru Lord Robert Hayward.

Labour’s prospects look equally painful in Wales where the governing party is set to lose the national vote for the first time in more than a century.

The Prime Minister has acknowledged the elections will be “a challenge” but in a final plea to voters he urged them to “choose unity over division”.

Labour is expected to suffer major losses to Nigel Farage's Reform UK and Zack Polanski's Green Party.

But as polls opened Kemi Badenoch lampooned her rivals in Reform UK, as she ruled out doing any deals that would enable Mr Farage's party to take control.
