The Labour Party lost its majority on Newcastle City Council after six councillors became independents.

The Labour Party has lost its majority on Newcastle City Council after six councillors, including former leader Nick Kemp, resigned to become independents. This shift leaves the council in a state of "no overall control," with Labour holding 39 out of 78 seats. The resignations stem from issues including government cuts and dissatisfaction with party leadership. Observers predict further resignations may follow in the coming months.
