You take half of that and half of how much Labour's has gone up by. Add them together, and that's the swing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"focused completely on delivering for the people of the country". Meanwhile the country spent yesterday focused on letting him know how well they thought that was going. Naah man, great night for the tories, Houchen won, that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 6321 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Deep in the Tory heartland that is North Hampshire, 9/18 wards have been announced so far - Tories have only picked up 3! Ours has gone to the Green Party - local fella who has stood in every election for the past 5 years including the GE, drinks in my local and refers to our sitting MP as 'a vacuous cunt!' and is interested in understand what is important to you as opposed to rattling off his own agenda. More of this please. One of the wards has gone to the Women's Equality Party who took 22% of the share. Tories only took 9% 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonpack 7075 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 2 hours ago, Gemmill said: Tees Valley has gone to Houchen by the sound of it. Labour conceding but pointing to the swing. Whilst pointing at the swing their hopes were on the slide, seesawed for a time but a bit of a roundabout way of saying they lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 39184 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Would’ve been 3/3 for Labour in the councillor vote, except for the fact that I had to tolerate one of them when my daughter was best mates with her son (now daughter), at primary school. An absolute weapons-grade cunt of a woman, so the Greens got my third X instead. This is how elections are won and lost, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the former you’ve got quite a lot of the areas where the Tories gained Labour seats at the last GE.

Tees Valley is a bit of an anomaly for a few reasons but even then there was a big swing to Labour I think it would be if there was some honesty in the media. To be fair though, there's been a lot less of the "Oooo but it's not great for Labour" as there was last year. I think the tide is turning a bit, and they all know the game's up. Sunak has hotfooted it to Tees Valley to attach himself to Houchen and celebrate a swing which will lose him every parliamentary seat in the mayoralty. He's doing a speech now, toasting his own funeral, the spineless prick. He's saying "the Labour Party knew they needed to win here to win a general election". Keep lying to yourself, you short pantsed cunt! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some workshy Tory prick from near Wales moaning about it the other day in one my meetings. He also said: "Im a life long Tory voter but im not sure who to vote for in the GE because you just know Labour will put taxes up".
