What do the 2025 mayoral and local election results mean for Keir Starmer’s government?

Description:

Elections were held across England on 1 May, with votes cast for four regional mayors, in 24 of England’s 317 councils and to decide the new MP for Runcorn and Helsby. So who are England’s newly-elected mayors and what might they do with the power they wield? What impact will the elections have on the Labour government's devolution agenda? And what happens next with its plans to reorganise local government across England? 

 

To explore these questions and more, the IfG was delighted to bring together an expert panel featuring:

 

Matthew Fright, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government

Stuart Hoddinott, Senior Researcher at the Institute for Government

Sarah Routley, Research Assistant at the Institute for Government

 

The webinar was chaired by Akash Paun, Devolution Programme Director at the Institute for Government.
