British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s leadership is under severe pressure on Friday as results of local elections and a crucial by-election poured in overnight, delivering one of the worst poll outcomes for the governing Conservative Party in 40 years.

Rebels from within his party are expected to renew their attacks on the British Indian leader after the Opposition Labour Party made definitive gains, including overturning the Tory majority in the Blackpool South by-election which was necessitated following a resignation amid a lobbying row. Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer declared the result as a “seismic” victory and an overall poll verdict in favour of the party as it comes on the eve of a general election, expected later this year.
“Blackpool speaks for the whole country. This is the one contest where voters sent a message to Rishi Sunak’s Conservatives about an overwhelming wish for change,” said Starmer.
