Today, across a large part of England, voters are heading to the polls in a crunch set of local and mayoral elections. This will be the first big test of the public mood since Keir Starmer and the Labour Party came to power, last July.
So, it’s a big moment.
The results of these local elections to 24 of England’s 317 councils, six mayoral authorities, and an absolutely critical parliamentary by-election in the northern, Labour-held seat of Runcorn and Helsby, will tell us a great deal about what people are thinking and feeling, the direction of politics and indeed the future of the country.
Which is why, tomorrow, I’m inviting you to join me, at 4pm BST, on the Substack App, to analyse the key results, reflect on their implications and make sense of what all this means for things we discuss and care about in our community.
The future of Starmer’s Labour. The big issues facing the country, from mass immigration and the spiralling small boats crisis to the cost-of-living crisis. And the rise of Nigel Farage and Reform —including the key areas we’ve identified and what these results really mean for the next stage of this political insurgency.
This event is exclusively for our paid subscribers who make our work possible and who are part of our thriving community. So, if you want to join us then upgrade and you will be invited via e-mail to join the conversation shortly before 4pm tomorrow.
You can either sit back and listen or join the discussion and ask questions, it’s entirely up to you. And don’t worry —if you cannot make the 4pm slot we will send it out exclusively to our paid subscribers afterwards so you are kept ahead of the curve.
This is potentially an enormous moment in British politics so let’s watch it and analyse it together in the one place that has consistently been ahead of the curve.
Best wishes and if there are elections in your area today do not forget to vote!
Matt
Great! I’ll be there.
I so hope people take this opportunity to change the political direction of our country. Elections in Washington where I live have been cancelled so I have no opportunity to exercise my right to a say. “Boundary changes” is the excuse. However I’ve been out canvassing for the Durham constituencies, so I’ve done my bit to help bring about change. It’s in our hands. Vote Reform UK to take our country back! 🇬🇧
