Are you worried about your party, Prime Minister? If the Labor Party loses thousands of seats will you resign, Prime Minister?&#8221; &#8220;I think he&#8217;s probably going to be in trouble after the election. I suspect there&#8217;s going to be a lot of vote splitting.&#8221; &#8220;I think Keir Starmer&#8217;s days are numbered. And tomorrow, who knows? I think a lot of traditional Labor voters who might vote for Green might have a change of heart when they get to the booth. The same with Conservative voters who potentially want to vote for reform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<header class=\"css-jgknzh\">\n<div class=\"css-1gn3fip\">\n<div class=\"css-p5izi2\">\n<div class=\"css-1h4tnhd\"><nyt-betamax class=\"css-j5i4vc\"><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/player-0.2.46-CnxAEwcy.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-cover><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/cover-0.2.46-eTrf0IGY.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><nyt-betamax-poster><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/poster-0.2.46-BdueiXaE.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-poster><\/nyt-betamax-cover><nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/overlay-controls-0.2.46-BN-qu2gk.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/share-button-0.2.46-L0OSgS9i.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-overlay-controls><nyt-betamax-ads><template shadowrootmode=\"open\" slotassignment=\"named\"><link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/video-static\/betamax\/ads-0.2.46-C_YVzzUG.css\" crossorigin=\"\"\/><\/template><\/nyt-betamax-ads><\/nyt-betamax><\/div>\n<div class=\"css-1msb6m0\"><span class=\"css-hple31\">Polls predict wide losses for Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s Labor Party as millions head to the ballot box in parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales and local elections in England.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>By Christina Kelso<\/p>\n<p>7 May 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New video loaded: UK elections set to be a test for Starmer&#8217;s Labor Party copy Back copy UK elections set to be a test for Starmer&#8217;s Labor Party Polls predict wide losses for Prime Minister Keir Starmer&#8217;s Labor Party as millions head to the ballot box in parliamentary elections in Scotland and Wales and local<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":125149,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[1987,2497,806,2459,3108,2388],"class_list":{"0":"post-125148","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-bible-news","8":"tag-elections","9":"tag-labor","10":"tag-party","11":"tag-set","12":"tag-starmers","13":"tag-test"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125148"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125148\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":125150,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125148\/revisions\/125150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/christiancorner.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
