Labour can never be enough for Reform voters & they should stop trying.

Very roughly Tories lost seats to that Farage company and Labour lost theirs to Libdem and Greens. Tories look broken for now/always? So Lab could lose yet more seats to Libdems Greens or Reform. Strange they mimic Reform whilst giving up yet more space to the other two.

Labour have over 6.000 local council seats leading all the other parties. Reform have just over 600. Many Labour voters didn’t turn out because of welfare cuts.

They only have 6,000 because not all seats are up for grabs in any given year.

We can only work with whatever is in front of us.

And by any objective measure, Labour's performance on Thursday was apocalyptically bad.

Reform got constant free publicity at the expense of greens and Lib Dems thanks to right wing media, that helped increase the vote. When they realise reform councillors aren’t in a position to get rid of immigrants it’ll be all over for them
