The antisemitism scandal has damaged the party in areas with large Jewish populations. "The Labour party should hang its head in shame," one Labour councillor in Barnet tells Business Insider. Big problems remain for the Conservatives in cities and Remain-voting parts of the country. The Liberal Democrats make significant gains including a big win in Richmond. LONDON — Voters went to the polls on Thursday in 150 local authorities across England, in what was the biggest electoral test for Theresa May's government since the 2017 general election.
