The Tory media team were stating 1,000 losses.

It was obviously expectation management, with 500-800 losses giving them reason to say "We've done better than expected".

Hmmm.

If more people could be bothered to vote it would have been worse. How do the turnout figures look?

It's an absolute hammering for the Tories.

You love to see it.

It's a piss poor performance from Labour, in the midst of everything this is the best they can manage.

Wouldn’t have got my vote yesterday but probably would in a GE.

Hahaha.

Was waiting for this.

Like clockwork.

It's an absolute disaster for the Tories and a good day for Labour.

'Piss poor'

No one likes seeing their team get hammered tbf.

Rugby goes to NoC, but could have been worse for Tories - a fair few of the Wards split votes between Labour, Lib Dems, and Greens, letting Tories hang on.

You seem to not understand that a bad day for the Tories ≠ a good day for Labour

I've read all week centrist arseholes on Twitter tell people they're "obliged to vote for Labour in a 2 party system" and yet Labour has won less than half of the seats shed by the Tories.

 

[Grendel]

cool story

No I didn’t vote and at the general election will roll a dice - no party is worthy of my support

 

[shmmeee]

“Losing 1000 seats is good actually. Iamverysmart”

He will not understand

 

[David O'Day]

The tories have now lost over 1000 seats

The pollster FP posted admits Labour are still in a good position to win next year

I wish people would actually look above the headline tweet

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

well the Lib Dems won’t get 18%

If it’s close enough I will vote that prick Western out.

 

[fernandopartridge]

For the hundredth time, I live in a key marginal and Labour has made practically no gains here, this should set alarm bells going somewhere

Higher turnout?

Lol

Lol

I have about 3 or 4 strong reasons behind that sentiment David

I perfectly understand.

That's why I said it's a disastrous day for Tories and a good day for Labour.

If I thought they were the same then I'd have said disastrous day for the Tories and a phenomenal day for Labour, or something.

If Grendel, FP and Dan Hodges think it was a bad day for Labour then you can be absolutely sure it was a good day.

 

[David O'Day]

I'll leave you all to squabble and for Grenners to to straw clutch with this

 

[JAM See]

I don’t have a team. I didn’t vote

You'll have to when I'm king.

PR and CV in my first bill.

King of Shaves perhaps

 

[David O'Day]

The "but Labour didn't do well here" argument is meaningless in the current political landscape.

Labour don't have to win everywhere, they may not win back places like Dudley and others but as the lib dems take seats in the "blue wall" it means Labour and Starmer don't have to be massively popular to win.

Still I guess we can find a tory pollster

 

[fernandopartridge]

Higher turnout?

50% here

 

[David O'Day]

 

[fernandopartridge]

Cheers PVA I'm glad you're relying on Dan Hodges

 

[Grendel]

50% here

Im sure @PVA will see the significance of that

 

[Grendel]

Cheers PVA I'm glad you're relying on Dan Hodges

He won’t even know who he is

 

[PVA]

He won’t even know who he is

The 'excellent' Dan Hodges I believe you referred to him as.

A man who is wrong on literally everything.

So I can see why you're a fan.
