THE Prime Minister could face “Starmageddon” in tomorrow’s local elections, according to SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn.

Polling suggests that Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour will fall from power in Wales for the first time since devolution in 1999, be beaten into third place by Reform at Holyrood and lose more than 2,000 council seats across England.

Party colleagues including former deputy prime minister Angela Rayner, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham are all thought to be preparing a bid depose the scandal-struck Prime Minister after the full extent of the drubbing is known.

Mr Flynn said: “The Scottish election could spell curtains for Keir Starmer if enough people vote SNP to tackle the cost of living, improve our NHS and secure a fresh start with independence.

“This is the cost-of-living election. At a time when families are being battered by sky-high bills, it is unforgivable that the Labour Party is completely distracted by scandals and infighting and has failed to lift a finger to help hard-pressed households.

“Voters were told things would get better, but Brexit Britain is more broken than ever.

“Under the Labour Party, energy bills will soon be £700 higher than promised, food and fuel prices have gone through the roof, UK unemployment is at a five-year high and families are struggling to get by.”

Accusing Sir Keir of “betraying” the Waspi women and “breaking his promises” over the Grangemouth oil refinery, the SNP candidate for Aberdeen Deeside and North Kincardine added: “It’s no wonder that, across Scotland, Wales and England, people are talking about this election being a Starmageddon.

“On Thursday, Scotland can make Labour listen, prioritise the cost of living and secure that fresh start of independence by voting SNP.”

Scottish Labour deputy leader Jackie Baillie hit back, saying: “This election is about sending one person packing and that is John Swinney.

“With our NHS in crisis, our schools in chaos and crime rising in our communities, it’s no wonder the SNP don’t want to talk about their record.

“The SNP is telling Scots their services and their government don’t matter by insisting they should treat this crucial election as a protest vote.

“The choice on Thursday is a simple one — more of the same with the SNP or change with Scottish Labour.”
