Ugg!
How can we get thru to #Labour that there is a super-easy solution that everyone is expecting? Increase taxes on the wealthy to fund a major investment in NHS staff and facilities.

@huntingdon if these results aren't proof enough for people then nothing will break them out of their delusion.
It's time for Labour to find a new leader, not Wes Streeting, someone who is *gasp* genuine perhaps?
@af just because it has no point doesn't mean they will relinquish their power. It's power and grift which attracted them to Politics...
Tories can rebrand themselves as Reform and the Labour Party will rebrand itself as the Tories
@ukelections Imagine being the Tory and Labour parties and thinking this result is no reason to change or self evaluate....

Starmer has got to go, or we'll have PM Farage
Centrist sellouts flounder before fascism, how many times must we go through this sad dance before we learn the lesson?
They turned it around in Canada, it's not inevitable.

ANALYSIS
Let's look at how the projected national voteshare today compares with 2013 (the last time an insurgent party of the far right led by Farage was doing really well).
2013/2025:
Reform UK: 23%/30% Labour: 29%/20% Liberal Democrats: 14%/17% Conservatives: 25%/15%
* The BBC compare this with a general election but that is a wildly inaccurate comparison to make as local election patterns are always different and have a different turnout.
PROJECTED NATIONAL VOTE SHARE
The BBC have done their usual projected national vote share* off the back of the England local elections.
This projection shows what the results translate into if the whole country had been voting today:
Reform UK: 30% Labour: 20% Liberal Democrats: 17% Conservatives: 15% Green Party: 11% Others: 7%
* The BBC compare this with a general election but that is a wildly inaccurate comparison to make as local election patterns are always different and have a different turnout.
ENGLAND COUNCIL ELECTION RESULTS SO FAR

@GottaLaff
Without doubt Farage/Reform are a real threat and should be opposed at every opportunity.
They will likely consume the Tory party as MPs jump ship.
But the by- election result could have gone Labour's way if one household of 4 voters had moved back to Labour from Reform.
Four voters !
Don't ever let anyone say their vote doesn't count.

‘Five different judges over two separate hearings have made it clear: these anti-protest laws were a flagrant abuse of power and quite simply should never have existed.
Ministers cannot step outside the law to do whatever they want to shut down causes they don’t agree with.’
