labour to go favourites for the general election tonight and not go odds against ever again ?gotta be a good chance. never mind johnson's gross incompetence and dire personal conduct the prevailing economic circumstances which are only likely to get much much worse will make it an almost impossible election for an incumbent government to win

No change in the general election odds.

So far Labour just gained even more ground in champagne socialist London but Tories holding strong up north with the working class.

Labour need to make gains with their traditional working class voters to win a general election.

Seems pretty much as expected, with a few oddities.

A Tory source argues that Labour doing well in London 'is not going to bode well' for them at next general election.

It 'will just reinforce the notion in working class people's eyes that they are now the party of the metropolitan elite, the party of Remainers'

BBC Projected National Share (PNS) of the local election vote 2022 is Con 30, Lab 35, LD 19, Others 16.

Pmsfl @ the Gardeners Doing fergusons Mob (hillhead)

I saw they had tories on 29 before.

Have they rounded them up?


It works out not awful for tories, but 30%
in a gen elect would be disaster.

Lewis goodall


NEW: BBC National vote share

Labour: 35
Conservatives: 29
Lib Dem: 19
Others 16

Labour matching its 35% share in 2018 under Jeremy Corbyn. But it’s a 6 point improvement on 2021 locals. Largest Labour lead over Tories for a decade. V creditable LD performance too.

Decent effort from lib dems, seems to
have gone un noticed!

Alex Salmond seems to concede his Alba Party will get no councillors, but will go on..

Salmond: "The next Holyrood poll is our number one target. However, in the meantime we will continue to make the positive case for the urgency and primacy of independence"

Tories now 351 seats down across eng, scot, wales

1060 held


350 + losses was disaster territory!

Salmond cuts a sad figure these days, maybe hes
watched too many spiders,...

None of Alba's 111 candidates have been elected

V early in NI,SF doing well at the expense of SDLP whose voters switched due to the DUPS insistence of there can't be a Nationalist First Minister.Alliance rocking.

Lab +101
Lib Dem +179


100 was sort of minimum labour were looking for
so, not great.

Still results to come in, of course

350+ losses... Disaster
100-150 losses... Disappointing
No change.... Hanging on
100-150 gains... Triumph

Labour
100-200 losses... Disaster
No change.... Disappointing
50-100 gains... Gaining ground
200+ gains... Triumph




No targets for lib dems, but they've got to be the
big winners.... And back in the game

Tory losses now 394 councillors

Any letters for Mr Brady?

Labour government, either in a coalition or with support looks highly likely.

Scotland and London bad for the tories but Wales is horrendous.

435 losses for tories, but it's not
getting much comment, lab +129

Similar disappointing results according to sky!

Lib dems flying, green breakthrough, barely a mention!!

A_T you do understand many Pakastanis don't want to live in Pakistan with other Pakistanis yes? I know this because I have a Pakastani acquiantance who says so.

Why is that?

You have to feel for Starmer. Labour win a few seats off the tories but all I'm hearing about is beergate.

Upholding the valour of our forefathers you clown.

The nightmare result. What was it about this candidate, once removed from officer for 'political corruption', that so many voters liked? So much so they even kicked out the Labour candidate.

Elections 2022: No breakdown or big breakthrough in uncomfortable night for big parties



Lol at bbc laura,

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10791505/Conservatives-lose-500-seats-local-election-humbling.html

Conservatives lose almost 500 seats in local election humbling: 'Revolt of the upper to middle class' sees Lib Dems make gains in Tory heartlands while party sinks to third in Scotland and loses its only Welsh council

As some 490 losses trickled in throughout the day, Tory figures continued to publicly raise the prospect of Boris Johnson being replaced as party leader as one senior pollster suggested middle and upper class voters had distanced themselves from the PM after his fixed-penalty notice for breaking Covid laws.

The Tories got tonked, plain and simple. Very well done Doris

How those with elections in the North East voted on Thursday:

Lab: 47.6% (+0.8)
Con: 22.4% (-0.4)
LDem: 13.9% (+1.1)
Grn: 9.0% (+3.0)

Chgs. with 2018

The biggest problem for the tories appears to be that they under pressure from multiple parties in every area of the country. Scottish Labour have taken over from them in Scotland, Labour are dominating them in London and Wales, the LibDems are doing the same in many rural areas. If it were just one party in one area of the country, perhaps it would be easier to tackle.

Simple solution, ditch the trolly!

current Mrs.
