Labour underlings only want Starmer to go because they think he isn’t Marxist enough.

Two reasons really.
People are much less likely to vote "far right" (even though that's a misnomer for most of Europe) in national elections vs local elections.
At least in the UK, they would have to win an overwhelming number of seats in Parliament. Otherwise Labour (or Tories) will cobble together enough of a coalition with the other parties to keep the "far right" in check and out of power.
I will say that if this had been a national election year, maybe, just maybe, the anger and frustration that caused this huge local swing would have happened at the national level. However, in another 2 years enough will have changed to offset a chunk of these gains.

You couldn't be more wrong.
The UK is a constitutional monarchy and its role is purely ceremonial. Power is held by Parliament whose House of Commons is by far the more powerful chamber. All members of the House of Commons are elected.
When the monarch gives the speech at the opening of Parliament, he reads a speech prepared by the government.

In three years we'll be reading another similar article about the right winning big in the UK and how things are finally going to start changing for Europe, all while refugees and immigrants continue to pour into the country.
Why?
Because just like in the US the UK has around 20-25% of the voters who are untethered to any core principles, consequently this 20-25% of voters are easily duped into voting for the leftist political party by leftist controlled media.

I know what they are called. If you think the parliament runs that country, you’re fricking out of your mind.

Reform needs to pressure for a snap general election. They can’t let labor muck up the UK until almost 2030.

This is pretty win win for Reform they have made massive gains but don't actually control many councils, meaning there won't be many examples if they mess up as they can blame the other parties.
Reform has grown so quickly, I am dubious about the quality of candidates they are standing, just the sheer upscaling of the last 2 years dictates plenty of dross will have got through. Disappointingly a friend stood for them but didn't win his position.
Green Party increase is worrying.

This. Plus the “far right” isn’t very right anyway. Europe is too far gone. There’s a stranglehold on speech and the young people have been deeply brainwashed.

The lesson is more universal than that; it was Tories (conservatives) who got ousted last time for being lying sacks of shite.

UK is so far gone, I don't think the PM will make a difference, just my opinion!
They left the borders OPEN way too long!

The PM can't do anything about it, it's because they're part of the European Court of Human Rights, who threw open the floodgates.
But, the new PM can insist on turning back illegals in the channel, not giving them hotel vouchers, not setting up 600 man camps for them in towns of 15k in the countryside, etc.

Operation Barbarossa was Hitler’s pre- emptive strike attempt to defend Germany and Europe from Bolshevism. Stalin was preparing to invade all of Europe, even Germany.
They were not allies. They signed a nonaggression pact for their own specific interests.
