Polls close in thousands of council elections and key by-election test for Starmer
Thursday, 1 May 2025 () Polls have closed in thousands of council elections, as well as mayoral votes, and a key by-election test for Sir Keir Starmer.
Sir Keir Starmer conceded that Labour’s loss by just six votes to Reform UK in the Runcorn and Helsby by-election was a setback and said that the government needed to act “further and faster” in delivering change.
