    • Abstract:
      Britons are participating in local elections that could have significant implications for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party. The Tories are expected to suffer losses, potentially losing over 400 of the 900 council seats they are defending. The fate of two mayors, Ben Houchen and Andy Street, may determine party morale and whether there will be a move to oust Sunak. Labour is seeking to make gains in key battlegrounds, which could serve as a preview of the upcoming general election. Results are expected to start coming in on Friday, with some areas continuing to count votes through Sunday. [Extracted from the article]
