Sir John Curtice, Ian Montagu, and Claire Elliott take a look at what the outcome of the elections that took place across Britain on 6 May can tell us about the continuing influence of Brexit on the political landscape in the UK. They examine the breakdown of the vote across England, Scotland, and Wales, discuss whether the results highlight a broader realignment of British electoral politics, and consider the implications of the outcome for the future direction of the Labour party.
