Keir Starmer says he will not give up and that he will stand as leader of Labour at the next election, which must be held by August 2029.

Yesterday’s election in the United Kingdom was a local election. In Wales, Labour has governed since the Welsh parliament was established in 1999. Wales has been a strong base for Labour in the United Kingdom, and it is disintegrating today. The final figures are expected somewhat later today, and no exit poll was conducted since it was a local election.

But even before yesterday’s election it became clear that the election in Wales would be between Reform and Plaid Cymru. First Minister Eluned Morgan (Labour) herself risks losing her job today.

Labour has been unpopular in Wales, and for reasons entirely different from uncontrolled immigration. Waiting times of 10–12 hours at local emergency clinics have become normal, there are long health queues, poorer educational outcomes, and in addition many are irritated by Labour’s costly priorities, such as the introduction of 20 mph limits on many roads that previously functioned excellently at 30. Council tax has increased violently without anyone receiving anything more in return, and expensive municipal offices often stand empty as a result of extensive use of working from home. Cycle lanes are being built everywhere without any more cyclists being seen. The list of poor economic priorities under Labour’s leadership is long. The election in Wales is clearly a protest vote.

All the media are waiting for a live update from Keir Starmer at No. 10 Downing Street.

It is almost 11 o’clock British time and Starmer is still nowhere to be seen. Perhaps he wants to wait until the results from Wales are clear:

But now Larry the cat has come out. A more welcome sight than Starmer, many will probably think.

You can also follow GB News live here. GB News uses the expression “total wipeout” about Labour.

For many Britons, the hated Starmer is merely a symbol of Labour’s wretched leadership of the country. There is no majority desire in Britain to allow other candidates such as Angela Rayner or Andy Burnham, both of whom are further to the left than Starmer, to take over. Burnham is not even elected as an MP; he is mayor of Manchester.

More left-wing politics from Labour will not solve the economic tangles, with even higher social payments, which the party itself has introduced. The chance that the party itself will push Starmer out is nevertheless great. Wes Streeting is another candidate who is mentioned. So far, Keir Starmer’s strategy is to cling on. What will the British trade unions say?

Last year Angela Rayner said that she would never become prime minister because the job would make her ten years older in six months. She has also previously expressed that a prime minister ought to be elected by the voters in a parliamentary election and not internally within the party.

This local election marks a historic shift in British politics. And for several areas, demographically speaking, it is close to the last chance to make it happen. In England’s second-largest city, Birmingham, which was bankrupt for several years, white Britons are in a minority. The Greens, who are now receiving the Muslim votes instead of Labour, have made great progress there. Many Muslim communities are also fielding independent candidates. This splits the Muslim votes and gives Reform the opportunity to take control there.

The other big winner in this election will be the Greens, who have received the Muslims with open arms by means of shared Jew-hatred and Palestine-flagging. The Greens are not merely useful idiots; they are also drivers of a future that will erase British society and culture as we know it.

Is London further ahead on the track? The Greens may have a landslide election there. They appear to be taking over several Muslim areas. Young girls are also eager to vote Green. In a debate article in the Daily Mail, four young women explain why they choose The Green Party and are proud of it. They get a severe telling-off in the comments section, naturally.

What is it about the self-assured and convinced faces? The Greens almost feel like a sect, with Zack Polanski as sect leader.

The article’s author writes: “For all the young women I spoke to, immigration was not an issue they were concerned about, nor were trans rights. The political gender divide is not about culture war – it is about economics.” So there it is: The Greens are like the watermelon: green on the outside and red inside.

The lack of understanding of how immigration affects the economy negatively, by leaving households with less to get by on while the total income in the state treasury grows, characterises many of the younger people. But not only them. It has become racist to point out that some groups do not pay as much tax as the ethnic original population while they are a greater burden on the welfare budget. Just look at Hårek Hansen.

The young girls do not appear to be aware either of immigrants’ contribution to the rape statistics in Europe. This is mainly due to the media and the police having stopped informing them about how dangerous it is for them. One must not be prejudiced. And then one can in the same breath introduce unisex toilets where no one knows who is hiding behind the door.

Here “Islam-green” is being voted in Britain, and the Britons do not understand what is being said, because English is no longer being spoken (video from GB News):

If we look at what happens when the economy has been driven into the ditch, we can take a look at Birmingham. If Birmingham shows what the future brings, then Labour will have lost all power in Britain for the foreseeable future.

As a former Labour voter said on TV some years ago: “I did not leave Labour; Labour left me.”

Update 15.05 British time: 54% of the votes in England have been counted and Labour has lost 457 councillors. Reform has gained 636 new ones and the Greens have 81 new ones. The Tories are also losing enormously. Reform appears to be taking votes from them as well.

We go live to see whether Starmer comes out:

Nope. The door is closed. The comments section at Manchester Evening News, however, is active.

Now the results are also beginning to come in from Wales. Sixteen-year-olds were able to vote for the first time in Wales. But it is not enough to save Labour. It will be exciting to see whom the youngest chose to vote for.

The BBC is struggling to inform people that Reform has gained as many as 643 new councillors in England: “Reform make hundreds of gains”…
