Labour hold a council seat in Ipswich. Bigger than it sounds.

Reform only took votes from Tories, but Greens came 2nd and took theirs from Labour.

Are Labour aiming at the wrong opponents?

Starmer's caution frustrates Labour’s base – timid policies, broken promises, and no bold vision in sight argues @peterthurlow.bsky.social

What are the chances of Labour changing, or do its erstwhile supporters have to look seriously elsewhere? If not Labour, then who?
Show us some love, Labour, or it’s all over between us

Will anyone really be surprised if Starmer's Labour do badly in the May elections?

The Tories suffered a complete & total collapse, but since coming into office Labour has basically sounded like & felt like more of the same.

Where's the change?
Where's the hope?
Where's the reason?
