Gb rating: Tory snatches Labor seat, blow for Johnson. Administrative count, waiting for Scotland

First blow to BorisJohnson in yesterday's local election in the UK, the largest ever ruling out general election. After 57 years, his Conservative Party wrested the Hartlepool college (in the former 'red wall' of northern England) from Labor, which has just recognized the blow, electing Jill Mortimer to the House of Commons in the only national by-vote. As for administrative offices, seats have been assigned so far in a dozen out of 143 English local councils, while the outcome of the crucial vote in Scotland and Wales and for the mayor of London is expected by tomorrow. Mortimer's proclamation is expected any minute, but Labor Shadow Transport Minister Jim McMahon has already admitted defeat.which looms clear and humiliating in a territory considered armored by Labor for half a century. Meanwhile, the local conservatives have raised a large inflatable puppet depicting Boris Johnson, thumbs up, a sign of victory in front of the Hartlepool election offices. The very first administrative results of some English local councils were also negative for Labor, where at the moment over a hundred councilor seats are assigned to the largest British opposition party and slightly less to the premier's party: but with the first in decline and the second on the rise as confirmed by the Tory conquest of the councils of Redditch and Nuneaton & Bedworth, in the Midlands, and of that of Harlow, in Essex, also stolen from Labor which confirms heavy losses a littlethroughout the post-industrial north-east. "The voters have not returned to believe in us again," commented another Labor source, trying to at least partially shift the responsibility for this initial negative scenario onto the legacy of former radical leader Jeremy Corbyn (who left the scene after the defeat to the policies of the end of 2019) and to exonerate instead the current leader, the more moderate but gray Keir Starmer.the more moderate but gray Keir Starmer.the more moderate but gray Keir Starmer.
