UK's Labour Party losing ground in local and regional elections(Independent)
Britain's opposition Labour Party
look set to lose ground in regional and local elections, partial
results showed on Friday, pointing to a dip in support that could
challenge the authority of the party's leader Jeremy Corbyn.
With more than half of the results from local government elections in England
counted, Labour had lost control of 43 seats. Labour's share of the
vote in was also down in the Scottish and Welsh devolved government
elections.
If the losses are confirmed once all
the results are in, it will represent a negative verdict on Corbyn's
first eight months in charge of Labour after his surprise appointment as
leader last September shifted the party's political stance sharply to
the left.
