The UK’s Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, has suffered a severe defeat in the local council elections. The Labour Party has taken a clear lead with results still being declared. Some key highlights include the possibility of an early general election and the impact of the Israel-Palestine conflict on the Labour Party’s votes. The Conservatives hope for positive results in some seats, while the Liberal Democrats have gained significantly. The election results are expected to be fully declared in the next few days.
