Council Elections 2023

[Funky]

Looks like Rishi’s gammon strategy has been a FLOP

not even being a FASCIST can win back lapsed Tories at this point. Says a LOT really

 

[auretz]

Locally, it also looks like Swindon may get a Labour majority

 

[GinAg (39)]

The Lib Dems currently only 130 behind the Tories in terms of total councillors.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Labour just gains East Staffordshire from the Tories.

 

[VoR]

 

[ButterTart]

Labour just gains East Staffordshire from the Tories.

Again, massive. Staffordshire is home to some of the finest well off, ancient, thick bigots in the country, so if even they aren’t drinking the Kool Aid…

 

[ButterTart]

Just lost Maidstone

 

[GinAg (39)]

FEED TORIES TO THE POOR

 

[ButterTart]

Lost Bromsgrove

 

[GinAg (39)]

And Swindon has gone Tory to Lab.

 

[GinAg (39)]

UKIP and Reform don't have a single councillor currently.

 

[jivafox]

Our Council chairman who’s a Tory has lost his seat

 

[Lucille]

GET ROTTED CUNT!

 

[GinAg (39)]

And Lib Dems have taken Stratford On Avon from the Tories

 

[ButterTart]

Tories losing Stratford, Rugby and North Warwickshire is fucking huge in my book. This is proper Brex Offender territory and they can’t even hold on to it.

 

[GNL]

Just lost Maidstone

Although I fear the ELDRITCH HORRORS that will be unleashed by this awakening of Kent Labour, I'm thrilled to see it

 

[VoR]

Come friendly bombs etc…

 

[Alex]

Come friendly bombs etc…

Bit of context

 

[Soldi]

My council is a LABOUR GAIN FROM THE TORIES

 

[lolly]

When there is a buck in the trend or a quirk (and particularly so in local elections), I wouldn't be surprised if there was a very local issue driving it.

And when practically every other Tory loss is attributed at local level to central government, good luck to Sunak trying to claim it.

 

[lolly]

Bit of context

...and there we are.

 

[GinAg (39)]

In more context Labour have gained 8 councils and the Tories have lost 24.

That's at half way.

 

[Indie]

In more context Labour have gained 8 councils and the Tories have lost 24.

That's at half way.

Quite a few of those Tory losses have been Tory since the year dot. Expecting Labour to pick up a majority was a bit of a stretch, so it's impressive they've even got some of those.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The SDP?

 

[jivafox]

Love seeing these cunts panic

 

[jivafox]

My ward went from two tories to two lib dems

 

[GinAg (39)]

The Greens have WON Mid Suffolk

 

[foopy]

I got a LABOUR COUNCILLOR in my LEAFY SUBURB for my troubles! Still got a TORY one as well though - the useless item has been around forever and snuck back in by 30 votes. I wanted her to stand up for me at a planning meeting once and you might as well have sent a WET RAG.

 

[GinAg (39)]

The Greens are having an INCREDIBLE election.

 

[Penelope]

The terminology I would recommend for Starmer is RIGHT WING CUNT

Give over

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Give over

Ok FINE.

CENTRE RIGHT CUNT.

 

[Penelope]

If it makes you feel better!

 

[win_the_game]

The SDP?

Just reading up on the current iteration of the SDP. They sound dreadful.

Socially conservative, Eurosceptic left-wingers. In an election pact with Reform UK.

 

[RJN]

Speaking of right wing cunts

 

[ButterTart]

Still 94 councils to declare… I love that the thorough kicking the Tories have received is being stretched out across a whole day for maximum humiliation.

 

[Indie]

My council now one ward away from declaring a Labour Majority. My ward. Solidly Labour last time. Not sure why it's taking so long!

 

[Ill Advised]

What marvellous marvellous results

 

[GinAg (39)]

Tories almost 600 councillors down

 

[GinAg (39)]

Greens biggest party in East Hertfordshire, not a majority but still...

 

[GinAg (39)]

Might have a wank to the sight of SAD TORIES
