schema:text	FACT CHECK: No, Keir Starmer Is Not Going To Cancel County Council Elections In May 2025 A post shared on Facebook claims British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is going to scrap county council elections in May 2025. Verdict: False There is no evidence for this claim. Fact Check: Tesla CEO Elon Musk called for Starmer to be arrested and suggested that Americans need to “liberate” Britain, according to AP News. Starmer said these comments were “undermining” democracy in the U.K. and said Musk was spreading “misinformation,” according to the outlet. A post shared on Facebook purports Starmer is cancelling the elections in 2025. The post shared a screenshot of an X post making the claim with an image of the politician. The post reads, “BREAKING: Keir Starmer is set to SCRAP the County council elections in May 2025, marking the first time this has happened since World War II. The situation in Britain isn’t just an exaggeration; a dictatorship is in play.” The caption reads, “HE MUST BE STOPPED THERE IS NO END TO HIS EGO!!!” The post is inaccurate, however. There are no credible news reports to suggest that city council elections are to be cancelled. (RELATED: Did Keir Starmer Tell UK Residents To Leave The Country If They Disagree With Labour Party Policies?) In a video from Guardian News, UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner said around the 50:10 timestamp that there is no current plan to delay the May 2025 local elections. Surrey County Council might postpone local elections in May in the interest of local government reform, but a local councillor has urged for the elections to proceed as scheduled, according to BBC. Check Your Fact reached out to a spokesperson for the U.K. Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for comment.
