A thread for talking about the local, Scottish and Senedd election disaster results.
The Guardian has a live updating page where you can search for your council (or any other council you’re interested in).
How are we all feeling? Depressed? Terrified? Vindicated? For me, I see no reason to change my view that Starmer should have resigned months ago. I’m also hoping Anas Sarwar goes with him (granted I’m writing this before the Scottish results have come in, I just think he’s a dickhead).
I’m reluctant to comment on it lest I jinx it, but I never imagined the Labour and Conservatives would be 3rd and 4th.
I’m hoping this rattles the government enough to propose something other than first-past-the-post for the next general election, if only to save themselves.
And literally this second Labour have moved into second place. Mea culpa, I’m sorry everyone.
