Episode Details

Millions of voters across Great Britain are heading to the polls today, with elections for the Welsh and Scottish parliaments as well as dozens of English councils. It’s seen as a key test for British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, whose leadership could be challenged if the results are as bad for his Labour party as polls predict. To gauge the mood of voters, SBS News has been to the town of Port Talbot on the South coast of Wales, an area which has been a Labour stronghold for decades - but could fall to Welsh Nationalists or Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform UK.
