Trump slams Starmer's reaction to Iran war and questions U.K. alliance 05:00

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer pledged to revive his struggling government but faced growing calls to resign after a disastrous set of local and regional elections for his Labour Party.

As the final results came in Saturday, Labour had lost 1,000 local council seats across England and was booted from power in Wales after 27 years. Anti-immigration party Reform U.K. won almost 1,300 seats across England, came second in Wales and made significant gains in Scotland.

It was a blunt verdict from voters in elections widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he led the center-left party to power less than two years ago.

1. The anti-immigration party won? Is this Brexit redux?

We are reaching a point in the world of revolving door politics. Ideas don't get resolved, they go underground ready to be resurrected early and often. Nothing is put to bed.

2. Well to be genetically correct, the only true englanders are the

Celtic, the Picts, & the Scots. All the rest of conquerors then should head back where they came from, and leave the latest immigrants alone. That would turn the tables on the Saxons & the Plantanaganets.. Let's see how that one hits at what height near the belt. It's just a thought..

3. The Left has to stop repeating the Far Right's talking points

replacing Starmer only makes Farage more powerful.
