Megathread for Labour Leadership News

Afternoon folks,

We've had a huge burst of activity since the local and devolved elections. A lot of that activity has been a number of self-posts involving much the same points being made so this will be the space for general chat about the goings ons for the Labour leadership events happening right now.

Big ticket news, such as articles and higher-quality opinion pieces can continue to be posted as normal. Random musings, posts on your two pennies, etc must be kept to here.

I'm relaxing the ban on social media here for Tweets and BlueSky links as long as they're sensible. All other rules apply.

Tomorrow is the day that months of campaigning comes to an end and voters get to decide their representatives in the local, Welsh and Scottish elections. This will be the megathread for all news & discussion for the by-election, including the results.

Polls close at 10pm with results not expected until early morning.

What are your predictions on the result? On turnout? Who's run the best campaign? What's the feeling on the ground from those who've been doing some campaigning? If X party wins what does it say about politics between now and 2029?

All normal sub rules apply - no matter who you're supporting please keep discussion respectful. At the Gorton & Denton by-election we only had one or two reports and we'd love to keep the conversation as clean as back then.

Reminder: you'll need photo ID in the local elections but NOT for Scotland or Wales.

Anything posted on the elections tomorrow outside of this megathread after 9pm 0n 06/05/2026 will be removed.
