Labor has achieved a “historic” victory in the British municipal elections

He The British Labor Party has achieved a ‘historic’ victory in various constituencies of the country during the celebration of the municipal elections against the Prime Minister’s Conservative Party, Rishi Sunakwhich has suffered numerous defeats in these types of elections over the past ten months.

Among the great triumphs of the Labor Party are the Blackpool Southwhere the politician Chris Webb won with more than 10,800 votes against the ‘tories’which, according to the British television channel BBC, received 3,200 votes.

Labor has also managed to take control of Redditch council, joining others it has won previously such as Hartlepool, Thurrock and Rushmoor. The Conservatives have managed to retain Harlow and Fareham councils.

“The shift towards Labor in Blackpool South is truly historic and shows that we are firmly back in the service of working people,” said the British opposition leader. Keir Starmer.

In this sense, he emphasized that this is the most important result of the day because voters have sent a message of change “straight to Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives.”

This defeat in Blackpool South is part of a string of poor results for the Tories They have lost six seats in the last ten monthsputting even more pressure on Sunak.

The Chairman of the Conservative Party, Richard Holdensaid Friday that “there is no doubt about it.” Sunak will lead that formation at the next general electionplanned for this year, although given the initial results of the municipal elections, he predicted “a tough few days.”

The first results of yesterday’s elections in England and Wales represent a major setback for the Conservatives, who are still running so far They have lost 122 council membersmore than half of what they had, and three town halls.

Yesterday, citizens elected their representatives to 107 of a total of 318 councils in England, the UK’s most populous region.

“The Prime Minister (Rishi Sunak) will continue to lead the Conservative Party at the general election, there is no doubt about that,” the Tory president said in statements to Times radio.

The Tories narrowly avoided falling to third place in that constituency, finishing just 117 votes above the nationalist Reform UK party’s candidate. Mark Butcher.

Election expert John Curtice has predicted that the Tories are on track to lose 500 councilors, which is “one of the worst, if not the worst” results the party has achieved in four decades.
