Looking ahead to the UK's local elections with British politics expert Colm Murphy
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is facing his biggest test yet as the UK heads to the polls on Thursday for local elections.
Voters in England will be charged with picking their local councillors, while in Scotland and Wales, representatives of the devolved parliaments will be elected.
Polls are already predicting the ruling Labour Party will suffer its worst results in decades, with Reform UK and the Green Party expected to make gains.
We look ahead to the vote with Colm Murphy, senior lecturer in British politics at Queen Mary University.
