The defeat for the Tories in the local election makes it difficult for the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. The backbench MPs are revolting against him as they are not happy with the result of the new election.
The Defeat
For the Labours, it is a historic victory. They beat the Tories where they had dominated for years.
The Consequences
The defeats of Tories encouraged Tobias Ellwood, one of the senior Conservative backbench MPs, to address the fellow backbench MPs to evaluate the issue of Johnson’s credibility to remain party leader.
New reports are suggesting that if this result is simulated in the upcoming general election, it would only mean that the Tories would fail to gain an overall majority in the parliament.
The Forthcoming
Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labours, thinks that the local victory is a significant achievement, as well as a big political turning point for them.
It is time to revive the labour movement that would allow activists to fight for a better tomorrow that includes higher earnings, liberal taxation, public ownership, and investment in energy and public transport.
