Nice press release and some of what claire says is correct although she forgot bits lol
She forgot,,,,,
1; UKIP made a big surge across Kent gaining 17 seats mainly from the tories
2; unfortunatly they elected two in Deal
3; Claire forgets she herself divided labour by being parachuted in and not giving males the opportunity to oppose her
selection
on the more positive side
Labour can take a little heart that they now have 13 seats, this is still far short of the number of cllrs they had in only years gone by when they had over 20
so a long way to go
Labour can no longer sit back and rely on people voting for them, Gordon worked hard during the 4 weeks covering every house, which hasnt happened for some time, and thus why the result was as it was, it has to be said last election 4 years ago i kept falling over so many tories in Dover they were well organised, and loads of volunteers
this time round there were few tories out, as though they had already accepted defeat was noticable.
