Keir Starmer makes late pitch to voters turning to Greens and Reform

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has made a last-minute appeal to voters ahead of Thursday's local elections, warning that Reform and the Greens are unfit to lead as Labour braces for record-breaking losses. Starmer argued that only Labour is putting the national interest first during a time of global instability, directly criticizing Reform's Nigel Farage and the Greens' Zack Polanski. Labour MPs have indicated that losses exceeding 1,500 council seats would be existential for the party, though polling experts predict even worse results, with some forecasting losses of around 1,900 seats.
