The biggest concern for Labour going forward is if all the tory voters splitting the vote end up turning up for reform in the end

 

[David O'Day]

That wasn't great for Labour but I thought it would be much, much worse than that so far.

Is it? They don’t seem to have done as well as expected.

Nah. There’s a reason people are Tories still. All the green and Lib Dem votes come to Labour too. Based on what we’ve seen so far Labour would win a GE tomorrow.

Better than Labour and Conservative

Labour aren’t really up for this one it’s mostly Tory seats. I’d have expected them to win by more than six votes in Runcorn if they expect to hold at a GE. Seem all fart and no poo again but we’ll see.

are you for real?

they over turned a 15k majority for an mp and took plenty of votes of Labour and not just tories. not bad for a party only created only a few years ago. if this doesn’t show you the country discontent to starmer nothing will

keep burying that head in the sand

9 months ago Labour won by 15,000. that’s a big big swing whether you like it or not

Labour aren’t up for it - what a load of nonsense

They aren’t it’s a fallow year. Why do you think there’s nothing up in Coventry. You understand how local elections work right?

7D political chess by Starmer at this point.

 

[shmmeee]

Jesus just as we’d got over the Corbynites who don’t understand the electoral system we get the Reformists. My kingdom for voters who listened in PSHE.

You’ll be happy with the Runcorn result I imagine. Green voters doing what they do best and electing fascists. Going for the US 2024 strategy I see. A bold move Cotton.

not a chance he does

Wait to he finds out that voting patterns are different in by elections to general elections

Just counting how many gallons of snake oil he’s sold

I voted Green here because the sitting Green councillor does a good job and makes the effort to knock on doors when it isn’t election year.

My Labour MP ignores all the correspondence we have sent him and the Labour PM is busy trimming £5 off the deficit. Sleepwalking into a Reform government.

what’s that got to do with anything?

every council have seen massive reform gains and Labour losses

Labour lost a 15,000 majority in less than 9 months

if you think that’s a good night for Labour then you are delusional

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Starmer hasn't got a chance in the next election, he might not even be leader by then

 

[shmmeee]

I was going to express my surprise that you think any of Nigel Farages vehicles are unique from the last one. But we know what sort of nonsense you believe so you probably do. Hope you’ve got your cash saved for NigeCoin!

Its a by election you loon. Governments lose by elections mid term. I expected worse than the bum squeaker. Ever council hasn’t seen major Labour losses because Labour aren’t up in most. The last set of these elections was mostly Tory seats.

Well wake up then BSB. The call is coming from inside the house. We’ve literally seen where this kind of sulking gets the left.

map if Labour got a 15k turnaround you wouldn’t be getting giddy

the general public have had enough of Labour already

they have no ideas or identity

If you don’t think last night has a big impact on politics in the next few years you are delusional

the only reason Labour hasn’t suffered more is because of the split vote on the right

 

[David O'Day]

No one knows what will happen in 2029 so let's cut that nonsense copium out right now.

If as is possible people fell better off than now then Labour win and if they don't they likely don't.

The only way Labour have any chance in a general election is if he's NOT leader!

and?

a by election within a year not 2 or 3 years like most

Labour lost 15,000 votes in less than a year if you don’t see that as damaging how far away from the real world you live

that’s your opinion not fact

reform created a few years ago and making waves both local and national

Blaming the voters for not liking what’s being served is an interesting strategy. Starmer is on course to take Mrs BSB’s disability payments, why on Earth should he get our vote?

okay, you do realise that Reform expected to win by a much, much bigger margin? As currently unpopular as the Labour government is Reform could only win by 6 votes shows that they are nowhere being in a position to win a General Election.

 

[GIMOC]

If @shmmeee @David O'Day can’t admit starmer has had stinker so far shows how shortsighted and one dimensional their politics are

how do you work that out?

they gained 15000 votes from Labour in the space of 9 months

You think that’s a good result for Labour?

that’s like winning 6-0 first half then losing 7-6

Labour brought on Brad Collins at half time FFS.
