Showing the proportion of the total vote would be useful. Just showing numbers is pointless for comparison purposes.

Another who took a back hander from the Israeli’s - blòódy LFI want chasing out of Labour. She didn’t stand by her mate RLB either when Starmer sent her packing either . Labour can’t win without the support of the left of the party. Total rethink needed to get anywhere near winning an election

And meanwhile the right wing media feast on Labour infighting whilst the criminal Old Etonian Johnson enjoys his new image as a working class hero in 10 Downing Street.Another who took a back hander from the Israeli’s - blòódy LFI want chasing out of Labour.

Lets hope all sections of the Labour Party can find a way to work together to meet the electorate’s agenda rather than just their own.
HC is there anything Starmer could do that you'd ever criticise him for? Seems like you just adore the guy and see every move he makes as laced with genius.
I really hope this isn't how the party are thinking. They need to learn from Covid. You can't just wait around quietly and politely and hope the electorate will decide they want the tories out on their own. If the strategy is to just wait around for economic trouble the tories will win. Either the trouble won't come and that'll be the tories case made for them, or if it does and Labour haven't already set out what they'll do differently then it'll just be written off as hindsight.
Oway HC I agree the media are wrapped round the tories little finger, but these elections have been horrendous for Labour and the tories won't be worried in the slightest.
Some fix. Membership down, voteshare down, losing councils.
Your last comment was praising Keir sacking Labour MPs
You can't have it both ways!

They won't find a way because they don't want to find a way. When Corbyn won the leadership his shadow cabinet was loaded with people from the right of the party - see all those who resigned. Starmer on the other hand is purging the party of those on the left.

i agree with your initial statement that you didnt agree with Angela's dismissal - those voting numbers show that a left leaning labour can garnish the votes of the working class - it also lays to an early grave the mandelsohhn claim that its Jeremy Corbyns fault

Hi Superstu, thanks for commenting on my posts, in response to your ‘queries’ -
If you have read any of my previous Labour posts over the years I have never criticised Blair, Brown, Milliband or Corbyn either and Starmer is no different. There is enough public criticism of Labour by the Tories and the closet Tories without Labour die hards like me joining in.
I’m not praising him sacking anybody, but I think change is needed, I agree they need to start talking policy rather than just opposing. I don’t know enough about the ins and outs of Labour to give an opinion about Rayner’s performance in particular but I do think she has been too low profile.
I think these elections are far better for Labour and much worse for the Tories than has been made out. The Tories want to change the mayoral voting system because so many Labour mayors have been elected. The Tories have been wiped out in Wales and Scotland is now lost to the U.K. If that is Bunter sweeping all before him I would hate to see him struggling.
I‘m just a man in the street Labour supporter, not an activist or a member, I give my honest views and I appreciate that you bother to read them

Dodds next to go as women fall to Starmer’s desperation to divert blame for election catastrophe
Labour sources say Dodds also on way out after sacking of Rayner
After the sacking of deputy leader Angela Rayner as party chair and the reported removal of Lisa Nandy as Shadow Foreign Secretary, Keir Starmer is now set to sack Shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds, according to Labour sources.
As foretold yesterday.
"Labour sources" were clearly right.
Lets all watch this space over the coming days and weeks - not just Shadow Cabinet posts......
