Is No 10 seeking its own destruction? Why else would it botch its council plans and hand a victory to Farage? | Polly Toynbee https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/18/no-10-council-nigel-farage-local-government-reform #LocalElections2025 #LocalGovernment #Labour #AngelaRayner #SteveReed #ReformUk #Politics #UkNews #Society

Forget all the silly candidates in this year's local body elections, at last there are some serious contenders;

🗳️ Just 3 weeks ago, #Buckinghamshire voters reshaped local power! But with turnout below 35%, our communities are still missing a voice. Let’s fix that in the next round. Get involved. Demand better. #LocalElections2025 #MidBucks

Pretty much....

The Labour Party is now that really persistent guy online who won't take a hint no matter how many times you tell them "I am not interested in this."

#Labour #UKPOL #UKPolitics #LocalElections2025 #ReformUK

Doubling down and telling what remains of your vote to 'fuck off' twice as hard is VERY SMART

#Labour #UKPOL #UKPolitics #LocalElections2025 #ReformUK

I mean we're only Voters, what do we know about the Voters, right? /s

Speaking of Boring and Predictable, how the Greens are never in the news as much as Reform are.....we get the bias lads, thanks....but it's your futures too, and you'll never be rich enough to escape the Trumpian nightmare Farage is promising.

It IS so boring and predictable.

#UKPOL #UKPOLITICS #LocalElections2025 #Labour #ReformUK #Starmer

We're all watching our lives slide into a Trumpian nightmare while the idiot Starmer smiles at us and barks out slogans like a Chatbot

*GASP, Starmer's Labour are all talk and no trousers, who could have foreseen this...../s

Actually, Kemi is not saying she's 'sorry' about being the shit leader that she is, she's just sorry other people have lost their jobs for reasons which are not related to her in anyway, let her be clear....

Not a single lesson learned by either leader here, just a stubborn refusal of reality and a double down, like we haven't all seen where this goes.

It's so tiresome....

#KemiBadenoch #Badenoch #Tories #UKPOL #UKpolitics #LocalElections2025

And as we can see from Starmer's pledge not to change a single damn thing, just double down and push harder, the end of the Duopoly seems not so remote now.
This stubborn refusal to listen to anyone but the Right Wing Press, a gooey eyed fascination with the Fascist abomination in the White House and complete indifference to human suffering....it's not a vote winner guys!

Starmer won't understand this because he thinks everyone (who matters) LOVES Margaret Thatcher

#Starmer #UKPOL #Ukpolitics #Thatcher #LocalElections2025

Watch Labour replace Starmer with Wes Streeting and then collapse.

Funny as it all is, we get British Trump in four years and as a Queer Man I know the great British Public will look the other way like they do in America. I know what cowards we are.....and as I minority I cannot afford to 'ride it out and hope for the best'

Fix Labour or fuck off.

Lib Dems had a great Local Election, Labour did not.
Genuinely think Starmer is a thick cunt who is the last person in the room to get the joke

ANALYSIS/COMMENTARY

Labour:

A bad set of results overshadowed by the far worse results for the Conservatives.

On the plus side they have held on to three mayors (including see off a Green challenge in the West of England), the only large council they've lost control of is County Durham (to Reform) and they've come second in the national voteshare - respectable for a mid-term government in the local elections.

On the downside they've lost seats to Reform on the right and to the Lib Dems/Greens on the left, they lost the Runcorn westminster by-election to Reform, have come 4th in council seats, and have seen strong Labour cities in southern England (Exeter, Cambridgeshire, Canterbury) experience major losses to Lib Dems/Greens.

And these elections were conducted largely outside Labour territory - had they been in Labour territory then these results could well have been a lot worse.

Starmer has got to go, or we'll have PM Farage

Centrist sellouts flounder before fascism, how many times must we go through this sad dance before we learn the lesson?
They turned it around in Canada, it's not inevitable.

A near clean sweep for Reform here in #Nuneaton + #Bedworth with a complete wipe-out of Conservative councillors for the borough. Seems clear people had lost faith in the old Tory administration but those mindful to vote simply switched their shade of blue.

Another low turnout in #Nuneaton and #Bedworth at just ~31% (though slightly up on the borough council election turnout last year of ~27%). It's common in local polls but still shows most people do not engage in who represents and makes decisions for them. #LE2025 #LocalElections2025

My Labour MP just knocked on the door! Pleased to have a chat but did say my vote went Green, but a tough decision; if we had PR/STV, Labour would've been my #2. Worryingly, she thinks Reform will have a very strong showing in borough 🤬

Jack Aaron: Reform UK. His past remarks have drawn significant criticism; he once referred to Adolf Hitler as "brilliant" at inspiring people and described Syrian President Bashar al-Assad as 'gentle by nature.'
