  • Voters go to the polls across England today in a major test of Theresa May’s leadership.
  • Leading pollster Sir John Curtice tells Business Insider that the prime minister could win a number of victories as Brexit supporters across England hand the Conservatives crucial gains.
  • Labour, meanwhile, is set to make big gains in London — where a majority of voters backed Remain.
  • However, expectations for Corbyn’s party are high and they may fall short in Brexit-voting areas of the country.

LONDON — Brexit supporters across England could hand the Conservatives crucial gains in Thursday’s local elections and damage Labour’s hopes of a landslide victory, according to polling expert Professor John Curtice.

Polls opened in 150 local authorities across England this morning in what has been billed as a major test of May’s authority. The prime minister’s Conservative party critics, who are already unhappy with her leadership on Brexit, are poised to speak out against her leadership should Labour make major gains across the country.
