Millions of voters across England, Scotland, and Wales cast ballots in crucial local and parliamentary elections amid growing political uncertainty in the UK. Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch distanced herself from possible alliances with Reform UK, calling the party “not serious” despite earlier hints at local cooperation. The elections are seen as a major test for Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Labour, which faces strong challenges from Reform UK, the Greens, Liberal Democrats, and nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales. Early projections suggest major shifts in Britain’s political landscape and potential heavy losses for traditional parties. (PC: PA)
