Polls have closed in elections across Scotland, Wales and parts of England that could prove a decisive moment in Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership.

Labour is expected to suffer heavy losses throughout the country as the party languishes in the polls and faces challenges from Reform UK to the right and an insurgent Green Party to the left.
