- Title
"Super Thursday" Elections in the UK.
- Authors
SURIN, KENNETH
- Abstract
Starmer insisted Labour candidates display their "patriotism" by highlighting the Union Jack in their campaigns, but clearly this pantomime British Empire Tribute Act did not impress many voters. Starmer's first test will be an upcoming parliamentary election triggered by the Labour MP Tracy Brabin winning the contest for West Yorkshire mayor and having to vacate her parliamentary seat as a result. Its leader Keir Starmer had said he would take "full responsibility" for his party's poor performance, but his first response was to try to sack Angela Rayner, the party chair who was coordinating Labour's election campaign.
