Are you going to keep an eye out tomorrow for when your result comes in? Glad you managed to change your mum's mind and made her understand the misery of the current Tory government.
yes i'll be watching all the results, My area of Gedling atm is mainly Labour except for the bit I live. So hoping for the best as all they do is post pictures having a Coffee in local cafes.
The bit that helped me with Mum was the Environment and the way Tom Randall voted against free school meals being extended etc
I hope it goes your way! Tom Randall looks like a mini Rees-Mogg clone.
I wonder if that tactical vote website has anything to do with this too.
I'll hold my breath though because I still remember 2019.

I don't like any of the parties and the only good thing about a labour gov is it would stop the union calling strikes and the protests and get the civil service working again. I've got a relative who has been unable to work for the last three months while he waits for them to send out a certificate which his work place requires, all the while not being paid.
I'm happy seeing the Tories lose so many seats.
They've caused so much damage to this country. They've had this coming for a bloody long time.

Is there a map showing the new seats?
Will Labour be any better !
One area in the South West only had 15% turn out for voting. Seems very low

Is this for all the elections that were held yesterday?
Local elections, they're about filling potholes, nimby planning policy, who will get the contract to empty the bins, how much of a pain in the ass they'll make going to the tip now, and how many percent they'll all stiff us on council tax to pay for it all. Nothing ever changes in local government no matter who wins, the services just get worse and the bills get higher, its just different people getting to play at being in charge for a while.One area in the South West only had 15% turn out for voting. Seems very low
I think so ! I’m not in England so just assumed there’s only one election going on ?One area in the South West only had 15% turn out for voting. Seems very low

They certainly can’t be any worse can they?!
the Torys got in in my area again i'm moving to the next street over lol

Labour gained Dover (my area) for the first time since 2003.
As petty as it may be, I’m bloody overjoyed the Tories are down at least 780 seats as of the time of writing this.
Thirteen whole years of Tory incompetence, austerity, and them literally laughing at us and considering us peasants. Is it any wonder people have had enough?

70 places were hung which I find interesting
Braying idiot Jonathan Gullis shell-shocked and glum, today is a good day.

I was listening to James O'Brien on LBC today and his topic today was 'did you shock yourself with how you voted' and there were some great callers. A life long Tory voter saying he couldn't stand anyone in our government and an out and out Labour trade union guy who both voted Lib Dem in their areas.
I live in a super conservative area and I've generally been a Tory voter but they didn't get one vote from me. I went all Labour. Conservatives lost control of the council for the first time in years.
I think the Lib Dems will do well come the next election. Disaffected Tories usually go Lib Dem.
