Campaigners demand greater support for public sector as election results unfold
Votes are counted for the Welsh parliamentary election today

CAMPAIGNERS are demanding greater support for public services, the NHS and social care as the election results unfold across Britain today.

Voters went to the polls yesterday to decide local and mayoral elections in England, as well as key votes for the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd.

The elections across Britain, which included a by-election in Hartlepool, were the first since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and the start of Sir Keir Starmer’s tenure as Labour leader.
