- 2:54Broken promises in England's north point to Conservative election wipeoutReuters VideosSTORY: The northern English town of Leigh voted in a Conservative member of parliament for the first time at the UK's last general election. Locals hoped for a promised transformation of the once-thriving coal and manufacturing area. But over four years later, and just days until the next national ballot, the signs of economic hardship and neglect remain. Many shops on Leigh's main shopping street are boarded up. Housing and homelessness are also big issues here. John Riedyard used to work in a textile mill in Leigh. He was one of those who voted Conservative in 2019. "As you can see the town's died, we were a thriving community, everybody was happy and it's gone. There's no laughter in the streets like it used to be, and that mill and miners was the heart and soul of the country, and apart from that it's just desolate." At the 2019 general election, then-prime minister Boris Johnson persuaded voters in dozens of towns like Leigh in northern and central England to elect a Conservative candidate for the first time. Those areas in the country's former industrial heartland, known as the Red Wall, were previously strongholds of the opposition Labour party. But Johnson's pledge to "get Brexit done" resonated with an electorate tired of Britain's slow negotiations to withdraw from the EU. Voters were also swayed by his promises of "levelling up" - a policy of investing in local projects to regenerate deprived areas. Many of them now feel betrayed. And polls predict that the Conservatives will lose all the seats in Red Wall areas in Thursday's vote, helping Labour to a landslide victory. Farai Nhakaniso is a local Labour campaigner. "People in Leigh are struggling far worse compared to five years ago, based on the cost of living crisis that we're facing as a nation at the moment, and places like Leigh are being hit the hardest because we had a Conservative MP that didn't stick up for people locally here in the Leigh constituency and we need a change to that." Leigh was assigned $40 million to redevelop the town center under the "levelling up" plan. But Reuters has found more than 99% of those funds have not been spent - with the cash caught up in local political and bureaucratic quarrels. Other areas of Britain follow a similar pattern. Parliament's public accounts committee said in March that nationally just over 10% of the more than 12-billion-dollar local regeneration funds have been spent. Of the 44 voters who spoke to Reuters in Leigh, only one planned to vote Conservative this time around. Michael Winstanley, the Tory candidate, said he "would have liked to have seen more" money spent on regenerating the town. But he blames the Labour-run local council for failing to have a clear plan. Labour said if it wins Thursday's (July 4) election it will give more powers to local leaders - and would drop the term "levelling up" to mark a break with Conservative policies.7 hours ago

- 1:42Hardliner and moderate to stand in Iran run-offReuters VideosSTORY: Iran's presidential election has gone to a run-off, where a moderate lawmaker will stand against a protege of the supreme leader. It came down to a tight race between a low-profile lawmaker Massoud Pezeshkian, the sole moderate in a field of four candidates, and former Revolutionary Guards member Saeed Jalili. The Islamic Republic's interior ministry said on Saturday (June 29) that no candidate had secured enough votes and a second round will be held on July 5. Turnout in Friday's election hit a historic low of about 40%, based on an interior ministry count. Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had called on voters to turn out, hoping to boost the legitimacy of the clerical establishment. But there's widespread discontent over economic hardship and restrictions on political and social freedom. And in the past few weeks, many Iranians have mocked the vote on X with the hashtag #ElectionCircus. Pezeshkian, though faithful to Iran's theocratic rule, has publicly criticized authorities over the death of Mahsa Amini, an Iranian Kurdish woman whose death in custody sparked mass unrest in Iran in 2022. He also favors detente with the West, while Jalili is staunchly anti-Western. Neither candidate is expected to usher in significant shifts for Iran, because Khamenei calls the shots on major issues like Iran's nuclear program and support for militant groups Hamas and Hezbollah. But the next president would run the government and affect the tone of domestic and foreign policy, and could even influence the succession to Khamenei.2 days ago
