Ha ha ha ha ha !

Well so much for Looney Labour's predicted storming of the local elections !!




Well the nation has certianly spoken and the message is patently clear. Old Jezbollah Corbyn and his Marxist thugs can go swivel. The country doesn't want him, doesn't want his Marxist tendencies or his Momentum militant entourage.

Looney Labour failed miserably to live up to expectations, but then don't they always?

The Tories kept Hillingdon and the Loonies fell well short of their predicted victories in Conservative strongholds of Wandsworth, Westminster and Kensington.

Corbyn also failed to gain the prime target Barnet which the Tories took.

The Tories took Peterborough, Southend and Basildon.

Labour lost control of Nuneaton and Bedworth in Warwickshire, after the Conservatives took eight of their seats, and also Derby.

The Tories retained control of their stronghold of Kensington and Chelsea Council, despite criticisms of how they handled the Grenfell disaster. They also held Swindon despite a fervent Labour campaign there.

"The basic rule for council elections is that the party that’s in national government usually loses seats. The vote may be supposed to be about local issues -- schools, planning, trash collection -- but many people see them as an opportunity to kick the party in national power. For Labour to barely be ahead of the Tories in overall net gains is poor. “Labour hasn’t made anything like the expected gains in terms of seats, and is actually going backwards slightly on the national vote share,” said Matt Singh of NumberCruncherPolitics. “These aren’t the results of a party that’s about to storm the next general election.”

"Labour campaigners could not hide their disappointment in Kensington"




Surely it is now time for the wider Labour party to once and for all kick the useless Corbyn out of his "leadership" position?!!

Why they didn't do it BEFORE the last general election is beyond me.

Why they haven't done it since the last general election is equally astounding, Corbyn lost Labour that election in grand style.

Corbyn is and always has been totally unelectable.

The Loonies need to pull their heads out of the sand and get a decent candidate in place. They have years of work to do to get whichever person that is in the limelight and to get the populous to warm to them. The clock is still ticking . . .

Not forgetting the outstanding contribution from Diane Abbott

Where is Uncle Joe now? He said I would have egg on my face on Friday morning after I more or less predicted these results.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

If you look at the map of Britain, all of the red areas this time are in the Loonies' traditional large city areas, which is to be expected.

Most of the map remains grey, as local elections were not held there. However, these extra-urban areas are all traditionally Conservative, so the numbers shown on the news programmes do not show the big picture.

If TM manages to pull her finger out and achieve the Brexit we voted for, I think her re-election will be almost certain.

If, however, she continues to dither or make concessions to the EU, the situation could be completely different.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

The Tories haven't done brilliantly either.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

For years now, with just a few exceptions, we have had a fairly mediocre standard of both individual politicians, and parties

We are in the position of having to vote for the least worst choice (if at all) whoever we support.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

About average, but certainly took seats from the Loonies.

As the previous article explained, the Tories didn;t need to do particularly well at these local elections. The majority of the country supports them and they will clearly storm the next general election. It's understood that they are failing in some areas and that some people would rather have someone else credible to vote for, but unfortunately there just isn't. Looney Labour, while ever it keeps preening itself over Corbyn and the disastrous loss of the last general election is going to be stagnant for years to come.

The local elections are the oppositions opportunity to kick the party in power and embarrass them. All Labour have done is underpin how unpopular they are with a Marxist and terrorist supporter at the helm.

The clock is still ticking. When reality finally dawns on the clueless muppets and they realise that Old Compo HAS to be ousted, there will then ensue a long period to work through.

You have to find a new candidate for the job, work through the internal battles and wranglings and infighting that this will bring, then introduce this new leader to the country and begin to build up a reputation and rapour. It's going to take years before the populous understand and feel comfortable voting such a person into No 10. There's an absolute ton of work to be done.

And yet the Loonies are still congratulating themselves on the lost general election singing "Oh Jeremy Corbyn"

What they should be singing is "Go Jeremy Corbyn"!

Go figure! Deluded till the bitter end.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

With the Tories relying on coalition to maintain government, one would think that labour would rattle them,its a non event.
They've missed a trick imo,the Tories are in such a dither over brexit that a decent opposition would seize on it and declare a remain campaign,these elections then would have been a bellwether to what the public thinks.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

Where is Uncle Joe now?

Ditto.

Re: Ha ha ha ha ha !

There's been a large increase in the `younger` vote but Labour still haven't made the stunning advances that Comrade Corbyn predicted.
