Blue "Labour" does not exist to deliver a Labour government. It exists to deliver a Reform government. It is well on track to do meet this aim.

Nicolas Chinardet9

Another take I saw from a staunch Starmerite: is it's all the Greens voters' fault if Reform is beating Labour... erm... isn't it Labour's own fault for deciding to alienate those people in the first place (and occasionally telling them to "fuck off")?

LynnHenni8

And as for "whisper it quietly", that's a twatty, self important phrase!

Phil Smith6

Why is the phrase "whisper it quietly, but" always followed by one of the dumbest takes you've ever seen?

Wini Davies3

Most of the data in Wales suggest Labour are mostly losing votes to progressive parties. England may be different

Chalkwitch Tiff2

This really disturbs me - I warned you we should be more horrible really isn't the campaign reflection meeting I was hoping for. I was hoping they'd realise attacking decent people wasn't the vote winner they hoped.

Maybe this Thai based billionaire will buy Lincolshire like Dyson

Being given permission Fag Ash Farage to be vile to people the rest of us call neighbours and friends is all well and good, but the utter economic chaos, the cancellation of essential services, the uptick on CT bills they have just voted for? Heh - shit gonna hurt them, being vile comes with a price

Freda Smith3

Voter turn out seems to be about 35%. It's how to incentives the 65% who thought they're vote made no difference.

Dawny B2

Hit me up I’m ready.

This is on Labour though. You could argue that it's down to MSM and dark money, but Labour knew that and didn't counter it. Leveson and PR are a couple of moves they could have made. If you know the punch is coming, move.

Don’t these people understand these are local elections for council seats not a leader for government? Reform are a shitshow in local areas

Chris Lovegrove 💙📚18

Starmer and his cabinet really needs to address the imbalance created by an almost unregulated antidemocratic cabal of news providers: a BBC packed by Tory appointees (and even the odd Zionist and GBNews sympathiser), corporate media owned by nondom tax avoiders and Reform supporters etc etc 1/2

A return to normal17

What happens when you appease the far right by supporting their policies through your own political efforts. Rather than defeating them through progressive socialist policies. Go figure

Crazy Cat Lady Abroad10

I'm not a huge Starmer fangirl, but...replace him with who, exactly? That seems like something we should sort out first so we don't get stuck with Wes Streeting or someone equally vile and incompetent.

AndyLGAtkins10

The constant bleating from Starmer that he is "taking responsibility" but not actually taking responsibility, is harming all of politics. Either say it and back it up with actions, or don't say it at all.

On The Threshold8

Starmer is worse than any Tory. A con artist and a vile right wing fool.

Ladies Bring a Plate7

This is the consequence of gutless politics. I fear the same will happen in our upcoming state election in Victoria

Alan Hall 🇪🇺5

“the change that I promised” - he’s had (wasted) nearly 2 years. KS just not capable of doing anything even mildly radical, things that should have been done immediately so the benefits might have started to come to fruition in time for next GE. There’s no hope 🤬

Katyb5

They are holding councils - so far Reform only have one. Protest votes as always midway - why are these reporters kowtowi g to their billionaire owners by presenting in this way. It is very worrying. By thexway I am Scottish so viewing with an independent viewer.

Ken Oh ☄️☄️4

He’s a genocide-enabling broken record

Benjamin Thomas4

Like the SPD in Germany, Starmer will be the leader who consigns the Labour Party to a 11-14 percent non entity by clinging to power or further trying to win over racist amoebas.

Peter Barlow, he/him #DavosSafe 313.7ppm4

So he's going to let it fester on a little and then call a general election while ReformUK are still on a bit of a surge in the polls, to ensure a ReformUK win. Obviously, if he waited a little longer then ReformUK's Council failures would ruin their chances: he needs to be sure of a right-wing win.

Dawny B4

Okay Keir. Haven’t looked at results yet.

ChrisPYJ4

The change presumably being a Reform government.

Andrew Rait4

I assume Mahmood will be wheeled out to appease the unwinable by suggesting mines in the channel & more flags

Jonny Main4

Responsibility not accountability. Just get him out before he hands the country to fascists.

james-harrington.bsky.social3

Anyone remember when Keir Starmer said Jeremy Corbyn had to go because he was unpopular with the public? Well hello!!!..

thepolyorchid3

Then it will need to be taken out of your hands Keir, you insufferable buffoon.

Luc Cuyt Pro-EU European #FBPE3

“When voters send a message like this we must reflect and we must respond," he said. How many times has he aid something similar these last two years... He doesn't know how to react, he will never change.

GwedLid2

How deep does he want to dig his own grave here?

Martandelus (Cheez)2

Bad move, it isn't wise for him to stay in position because it just looks petulant, he's trying to pull a Johnson on this one and hopes that being stubborn gives him the warrior status. Thats not how it works, the mood soured months ago and folks are fed up of the same old, change comes from the top

Gareth Edwards2

He promised 'change' in the abstract. His undoing has been the gradual realisation among voters that he didn't have a clue what to change or how

Gavalaaaa!2

If you are going to serve weak gruel for dinner, some people are actually stupid enough to order the dog shit to eat instead. You can’t think “surely they won’t want to eat dog shit, our weak gruel is preferable” Just don’t serve the weak gruel in the first place.

Dave Lennon2

cowards flinch and traitors sneer

Pat3

But will we? 78 yrs old in August and people never cease to amaze me with their ignorance .

Julian2

Very depressing to wake up to.

Grahame Walker 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿2

They voted to get rid of the tories then vote them in under a different name. Very clever eh?

Chief Joe3

Did Blair quit when he had council losses?

Hum2

What is it with media obsession for Keir to quit? There must be vested interests here.

Somebody Sometimes an AI10

I guess Free Palestine isn't the pressing issue so many people on Blue Sky tell you it is for most British people

A.S.L.5

The Richmond wipeout's easier to write off as a consequence of LDs having stood candidates this time and not last time.

no_tag_error2

This was a referendum on Starmer
