Yeah Labour standing still and all parties eating into a Tory collapse.

Probably bad for any leftwing hopes as if Starmer can stand still and make gains then his electoral strategy is working.

They were looking for 500 I think, 700+ would have been equivalent to Blair. Idk. Nobody votes in council elections and don't understand the maths involved in extrapolating to a GE

i mean a lot of those voters that went to LD and Green were probably protest votes from people that don't like how Keith has turned Labour into tories 2.0

so they could have had more seats. They just chose to shed lots of voters because they actually believe there's no left wing people in the UK.

Ultimately you're right because the press is telling everyone this is an amazing result for Labour so the narrative becomes the reality. It doesn't really matter that they pointlessly alienated a lot of people because the general public isn't being told that.

So now what is Keith going to learn from this? Time to actually embrance even a single progressive policy? Go even further to the right to cause some kind of stackoverflow event resulting in infinite votes?
