The 2026 local elections are expected to be a difficult day for Sir Keir Starmer and Labour, with potential heavy losses across Britain. The results will likely bring significant changes to London's governance. Labour has long been the dominant party in London, but the Greens and Reform UK are expected to make significant gains. Many councils are likely to be left with no overall control, leading to potential gridlock and difficulties in making key decisions.
