Hello, calling Labour, have you got the message yet?

eagleneedle.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Starmer effect.

martw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Now that Labour have shifted all the way across to Tory/Reform, Greens are the natural choice for anyone vaguely on the left.

terrypasta.bsky.social•3 days ago

Absolutely everybody fucking hates Keir Starmer.

veencube.bsky.social•2 days ago

The guy who won a stonking majority a little under a year ago? 😀😀

maguerrete.bsky.social•2 days ago

Ahh, but he didn't. The Torys lost votes, Labor didn't gain, in fact, it pretty much stood still.

veencube.bsky.social•2 days ago

Awww bless. Whatever butters your parsnips.

terrypasta.bsky.social•2 days ago

I mean, those are facts. In the meantime, all normal people cannot stand the POFS.

👏👏

lazytitan258.bsky.social•2 days ago

Less than 1800 votes, 28% turnout

pilningtom.bsky.social•3 days ago

And yet most of the people that have resigned from Labour act like there's not a serious insurgent left party. Time to get with the program.

janbellina.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well done, At Ann's Haringey voters. I hope the nation learns to follow your lead.

manden.bsky.social•3 days ago

Another reform failure - like it! 👍

So, I am not the only one in my borough who will be voting Green at the next general election. This is good to know.

ala8.bsky.social•2 days ago

Green win good, i hope it is replicated across the country, send Starmer a message

aunticles.bsky.social•3 days ago

🥳

ciannwn.bsky.social•3 days ago

Have Labour tried moving to the right?

redman1892.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lib Dems lost ground. I like that, a party of Tories, but too afraid to admit they are!!

bearsie17.bsky.social•3 days ago

flyguy1966.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fantastic, well done everyone involved 👏

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social - bye bye

ppennell.bsky.social•3 days ago

55.4%?

Go Greens!!!

edmundcornforth.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's Haringey Green Lanes, not Haringey Labour Lanes amiright?

tonybirdlondon.bsky.social•3 days ago

David Lammy's constituency 👀

Greens were in second place to him at the general election last year

telson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Quite funny that The Tories didn't even run last time.

tonybirdlondon.bsky.social•3 days ago

Guess it's difficult to find 57 Tories to stand in Haringey

telson.bsky.social•3 days ago

Fair point.

nikkihack.bsky.social•2 days ago

Wow!

fastcarspete.bsky.social•2 days ago

Congratulations to residents of Haringey

You've learned not to vote for Brexiters. Great move.

stevewelling.bsky.social•3 days ago

labour and tories going to get hammered in a few weeks

briefsnstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Reform will be the big winners in the midlands and north unfortunately!

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

While the Greens will do well in London. Labour are losing far more votes to the Greens and Lib-Dems than Reform

briefsnstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not around here they’re not,reform are unfortunately the ones out in front!

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ok but this by-election is in London. Not everything is about the North-East

briefsnstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Didn’t say it was,I’m merely pointing out that reform outside London are unfortunately tipped to do very well!

stevewelling.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are they though? Think just depends where.

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, there was a poll the other day that more of their votes are going to the Greens(7%) more than that to Lib-Dems and only 5% to Reform.

I doubt that will reflected in the local election results though as most of the places they're losing to Greens aren't up for election this year

stevewelling.bsky.social•3 days ago

But there are many seats where reform came a close second to labour..that is why there is so much attention to them, that and the fact reform are polling pretty much same as labour if not ahead.
At same time labour could lose seats to green or lib Dem in other places.

briefsnstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Like I’ve said midlands and north very heavily will tip to reform.

eartheart1.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yep, I could even see Lancashire County Council having reform as the biggest group. In the tiny little patch I know Labour will lose three county seats, two or three to the Greens, one possibly to Reform. Possibly also another three to Reform in Morecambe

mikeinsdevon.bsky.social•3 days ago

They're likely to do really well in places like Lincolnshire

briefsnstuff.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same around here in Lancashire,if the neighbours are anything to go by it’s there’s for the taking!

williamnb.bsky.social•3 days ago

Woohoo!!
More people are waking up to the fact that the Green party is the only party with their best interests at heart

iantofp.bsky.social•2 days ago

Onwards and upwards! 👆

phantomsteve.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you think we will see more Green wins over Labour? I know a lot of Labour supporters are disillusioned with them, with many resigning from the party.

ala8.bsky.social•2 days ago

We can only hope so, had enough that that fraud leader

mikeinsdevon.bsky.social•3 days ago

I think there's quite a few places where there's potential for Green gains from Labour. London being the obvious place but also regaining seats in Brighton, York etc. when they come up and potentially some county divisions in Cambridge, Exeter and Oxford?

kiersturmer.bsky.social•3 days ago

there is a by elections in Hove in a few months then the full council elections are in 2027. Greens will be looking to have a massive resurgence I think

sjpartridge.bsky.social•3 days ago

Will Brighton have forgiven the Greens for the mess they made of it last time? Will be interesting.

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Given that the Greens kept Brighton Pavilion with a big margin despite Caroline Lucas no longer being the candidate my guess is 'yes'

sjpartridge.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's not voting for a local council though. Very different choice.

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

People vote in local elections for a variety of reasons. For example where I live in Bristol some people voted Green instead of Labour due to Labour's position on what is happening in Palestine.

Some people voting Reform will have no idea what they're gonna do locally but like Nigel Farage

drlukewalker.bsky.social•3 days ago

I may be biased, as a longstanding Brighton Green activist, but I honestly don't think Greens made any kind of mess of running Brighton in 2011-15 or 2020-23. Except at a party political level, poor tactical comms strategy, etc, allowing this narrative to develop

drlukewalker.bsky.social•3 days ago

And yes, we already won one B&H council seat back from Labour last year, and have a chance to win another back in a by-election on 1st May

mikeinsdevon.bsky.social•3 days ago

They also ran it 2011-15. Lost half their seats in 2015 and recovered 2019. So I'm guessing at least some voters will.

sjpartridge.bsky.social•3 days ago

Once is a mistake twice is...

bristolsocialist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Labour got ripped to shreds by the Greens in Bristol, my guess is that Bristol won't forgive Labour for a long time

mikeinsdevon.bsky.social•3 days ago

And there's already been a by-election gain last summer
