Relish and dread as Starmer 'shambles' hangs over Scotland and Wales elections
Ahead of the 7 May 2026 UK local and devolved elections, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's recent controversies, including the appointment of Lord Mandelson as US ambassador, are dragging down Labour's performance in Scotland and Wales. Voters in both devolved nations are prioritizing cost of living, NHS performance, and immigration over constitutional issues like independence; Labour faces potential historic losses in Wales after 25 years in power, while the SNP is positioned to retain control of the Scottish Parliament, with Reform UK expected to make gains in both regions.
