Labour suffered its worst local election result in living memory in May 2026, losing nearly 1,500 council seats and control of 38 councils while Reform UK gained over 1,400 seats and emerged as the largest party by vote share. The results have triggered internal discussions about a leadership challenge to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose net approval rating sits at historic lows, while exposing a structural dilemma: Labour is losing working-class Red Wall voters to Reform on immigration and losing metropolitan progressives to the Greens on the environment simultaneously.
