Experts have warned the Conservatives could be on course to lose


500 seats in what could be their worst showing in 40 years.
But the party retained the Tees Valley mayoralty, with Lord Ben
Houchen being re-elected.
Lord Houchen’s victory provided a much-needed boost for Mr
Sunak, although Labour said he ran as a “pseudo-independent”,
distancing himself from the Prime Minister, and pointed to the large
swing in its favour.
The results come as Sir Keir Starmer hailed a “seismic win” for
Labour in the Blackpool South by-election, where the party secured
a 26.33% swing, as well as council gains in key areas such as

P HOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs' signing of the


repeal of a Civil War-era ban on nearly all abortions was a
stirring occasion for the women working to ensure that the 19th

Current and former state lawmakers and reproductive rights
advocates crowded into the 9th floor rotunda outside Hobbs' office
Thursday afternoon, hugging and taking selfies to capture the
moment. Some wept.

“It’s a historic moment, and it’s a place and time where thrilling
moments all come together," Democratic Rep. Stephanie Stahl

Stahl and Sen. Anna Hernandez, also a Democrat, were the two
current lawmakers chosen to speak at the ceremony for their efforts
to ensure repeal of the long-dormant law that bans all abortions
except those done to save a patient’s life.
