Starmer accused of ‘running scared’ as dozens of council elections are cancelled or delayed in 'attack on democracy' | LBC
The Tories and Reform UK have accused Starmer of being 'afraid of the ballot box'
More than a third of eligible councils in England have asked to postpone their elections due in May with ministers due to approve the requests in the coming days.
More than 20 councils have so far confirmed delays - three quarters of these are Labour run. Seven more Labour councils are expected to also announce delays.
Three are Conservative and one is Liberal Democrat led.
Some of the councils will be cancelling the elections for the second year running, leaving councillors in office for seven years without having to be re-elected.
Well now, this is what being a defunct empire gets you.
I guess they figure if Ukraine can do it.
I need not mention the same government recently decided that jury trials were too burdensome, got caught trying to rig the rape gangs investigation, and is arresting about 30 people a day for mean tweets while sending intimidation squads to lecture other miscreants.
