All eyes are on May 1 as the UK heads into a major day of elections that could mark a turning point in British politics. Local council and mayoral elections are on the ballot, but it’s the Runcorn by-election that could steal the spotlight — and potentially rewrite the political playbook.

A weak showing would take the wind out of Reform’s sails, and might even push Labour back leftward after its recent lean to the right, reported the Express.
