Conservatives Hail Wins, SNP Making Gains: U.K. Elections Update Bloomberg 1 day ago © Photographer: Ian Forsyth/Getty Images Europe Hartlepool By-election Count And Declaration (Bloomberg) Prime Minister Boris Johnson is celebrating what he called “very encouraging” early results in a crucial set of British elections, after his ruling Conservative Party hammered the main opposition in a high-profile contest in the Brexit-backing town of Hartlepool. Johnson’s party is picking up support in Britain’s “Super Thursday” elections on the back of the coronavirus vaccine rollout, as well as completing the divorce from the European Union. On the flip side, pressure is growing on Labour leader Keir Starmer after his party’s disastrous showing in Hartlepool and around the country.

If Nicola Sturgeon’s Scottish National Party (SNP) wins a decisive victory at Holyrood this week, she is expected to use the result as a mandate for a fresh referendum on independence. Breaking away from Westminster would give Scotland the chance to rejoin the European Union after being forced out against its will, but the new foreign policy possibilities do not end with the well-worn debate over Brussels. Just as important for many Scottish voters is the issue of nuclear disarmament, which could affect Scotland’s position in the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) and the UK’s permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
