What the morning papers say

BBC

The front pages make grim ready for Keir Starmer as the Labour reshuffle dominates.

"Starmer swings axe after poll disaster" is the headline for the i.

It says the reshuffle was delayed while Sir Keir and Labour's deputy leader, Angela Rayner, haggled over her future.

The Times describes the changes as a "reshuffle kerfuffle" after a weekend of chaos in Labour ranks.

The Daily Telegraph says allies of Jeremy Corbyn accused Sir Keir of lacking “basic political skills” and vowed to push back against his modernising plans

The Guardian says Starmer’s reshuffle has been plunged in to crisis

Aside from Labour’s woes, many papers look ahead to the PM’s expected announcement later today of the next stage of the roadmap for lifting restrictions.

"A huge hug for Britain" is the Mail's headline.

Good morning

Morning all and welcome to our coverage of the elections.

It may be hard to believe but we are still expecting to get more results coming through today – albeit from the less-box office police and crime commissioner elections.

Meanwhile there is also the fallout from Labour’s reshuffle following their defeat in Hartlepool as well as disappointing English local election results for the party.

In Scotland, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Prime Minister Boris Johnson are set on a collision course over a new independence referendum.

Plus, we may start getting bits of news about tomorrow’s Queen’s Speech, when the government will set out its agenda for the next parliamentary term.

So there is plenty to talk about – do stick with us for the latest news.
