Local Elections 2023

[not a trot]

Rushmoor. Labour took five seats from the vermin. My ward stayed with labour after gaining from Tories last time.

 

[The39thStep]

Some interesting comments on Teeside with Labour winning the Middlesborough Mayoral election. Houchen the Tees Valley mayor has been one of the Tory success stories

 

[Bingoman]

Looks like Dover are going red

 

[Jeff Robinson]

Union Jacks are a bit subtle on Labour's victory posts. In the future they should provide supporters with 3D goggles and binoculars to ensure that the Butcher's Apron fully engulfs their entire visual field.

 

[Bingoman]

Bournemouth Christchurch and Poole council looking like a bloodbath for the Tories so far

And this council is new created

 

[brogdale]

With all of the usual caveats, and setting a considerable chunk of cynicism aside, I'm actually feeling a little bit chuffed for my old 90 YO mum & dad that their PV worked for them in their 3-way Kentish ward:

Green 11 up 9
Labour 3 up 3
Others 10 up 5

Dartmouth says no

 

[rubbershoes]

Tories properly fucked over in mid Devon

[rubbershoes]

pedestrianisation of Paignton has been a hot potato

I'm dead against it etc

 

[brogdale]

The World Turned Upside Down! A Labour councillor in Reigate & Banstead?

 

[Elpenor]

My mate elected for the Lib Dem’s in Horsham. Amusingly he is campaigning against a big housing development whilst also living in a new build house

 

[cupid_stunt]

Tories properly fucked over in mid Devon

Yep.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

So far, every single UKIP councillor has lost their seat.

 

[BusLanes]

Yep.

Some of these results are comedically huge

 

[cupid_stunt]

Greens have taken full overall control of their first council ever.

 

[The39thStep]

Reform UK who some posters suggested on here would be denting the Tory vote are standing 471 candidates and as yet haven't won a seat anywhere

Edit , might have spoke too soon : There's a party called Reform Derby who have won three sets in Derbyshire but not sure if they are linked with Reform Uk

Greens getting hammered in Brighton, down to 4 seats at the moment, leader bound to go.

With his snout fully in the trough.

My mate elected for the Lib Dem’s in Horsham. Amusingly he is campaigning against a big housing development whilst also living in a new build house

He has now let me know that he unseated the Tory Leader of the council who has been a councillor for 35 years

 

[Boudicca]

Conservatives haven't done too well in Bournemouth.

If anywhere is their spiritual home it's surely Brighton. Why are the voters butchering them?

Because they have been a fucking awful Council. The loss was predicted.
