Prime Minister Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour’s plan to delay mayoral elections across the country by up to two years “will backfire,” as furious Good Morning Britain viewers expressed their feelings following a report on the proposal. The show’s reporter, Nitya Rajan, was outside Westminster as she explained the situation. “They will argue, if this announcement goes ahead, as we’re expecting it to today… That it will give regions that have had these new elected mayoral positions more time to reorganise.” Showing a map highlighting the regions that will be impacted, she continued, “The current plan is that we will have elections for these posts next year. We’re expecting Labour to announce that they will postpone it to 2028.
“If you look back to February, we’ve already seen elections…cancelled. The government has announced that local elections, originally scheduled for May this year, will be postponed until next year. Now, all of the timing around this hasn’t gone unnoticed by rivals on all sides. It’s prompted fury,” she said.
Viewers were also outraged and took to X to vent their fury at the plan. “He will want to cancel the general election until 2040. Vile dictator. Get Labour out,” one raged.
“Absolute cowardice and pure socialist dictatorship traits shown by Starmer. If you know you’re going to lose, don’t hold an election. This will backfire. Yet again another mister by this calamitous government,” another added.
A third chimed in: “The only reason they are being delayed is that Labour is going to be destroyed.”
A fourth opined: “When a government delays elections, the opposition calls it scandalous, the public calls it suspicious, and the ministers call it ‘necessary.’ Democracy delayed is rarely democracy defended.”

A fifth asked: “How is this legal? Feels totally undemocratic. It’s exhausting, one bad move after another by this government. Can’t they do anything that the majority of people actually want? So much support has left them, leaving only a minority of the public behind them.”
Meanwhile, a sixth shared: “They can delay it as much as they want, they’re still toast. If they think Reform are going to drop off in the polls, they’re deluded. I suppose it will give Labour more time to lie, smear and discredit Reform. Won’t work.”
The move has also outraged the opposition. Reform’s Zia Yusuf said: “What they’re actually saying is they need more time for a government initiative to be completed, and therefore they don’t want to give the people, the electorate, the chance to vote. This is nonsense. It is a disgrace, and it’s a deeply dangerous time for Britain.”
Meanwhile, Shadow Housing Secretary James cleverly said that it’s a scandalous attempt to subvert democracy by the Labour government, whose credibility and popularity are already in tatters. There is no credible justification for this move. The Labour government must reverse it immediately.
