Heavy Labour losses in May 'could decide Starmer's fate'
Grimsby Telegraph
|December 27, 2025
SIR Keir Starmer's future could be determined in May as a polling expert warned Labour faces nationwide losses at next year’s elections.
-
Lord Robert Hayward said the Prime Minister was on course for heavy losses in English council elections, as well as defeat in the Welsh Senedd and a “battering” in the Scottish Parliament on May 7 2026.
Bleak results for Labour could reignite the question of whether Sir Keir should continue to lead the party, which exploded into the headlines in November following anonymous briefing from his allies against potential rivals.
In England, results will depend on where elections go ahead, with a number of councils expected to defer polls to 2027 to focus on a reorganisation of local government.
