Polling stations are open across England for today's local elections in a major electoral test for both Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer.
Voters have until 10pm to cast their ballot, with more than 8,000 council seats in England up for grabs.
The Labour leader urged voters to send a message to "this failed Government and out-of-touch" Rishi Sunak as the party battles to turn its national poll lead into victory at the ballot box.
