Tories became very unpopular
Seen in some of the seats they lost , I never thought in my life time I would see them lose in Sandwich .
But even in Dover there were other casualties such as Indy C precious who's voting with Labour obviously was noted and lost his seat.
Thankfully undemocratic M Woods lost to a green.
I think Starmer does need to be careful on taking these results as one of support for Labour in next general election.
Labour shared wins with other parties .
Also people vote quite differently at general elections than local elections .
Although unknown for it, Labour should be proud of Martin garside. I don't know if he holds office locally , but throughout count he wasn't always around Labour count, he was talking and being pleasant to all candidates .
He spoke to Becky after district result bigging her up
It could have done like most Labour candidates just look after there own.
For the Tories , Sunak outside of his own party isn't popular so they hav e some serious t thinking to do .
I did see quite a number of the Tory candidates looking inwards and telling each other they were great.
Unfortunately that won't get the votes ,nor make them popular.
There are a number of seats they should have won.
That said LAbour only had a two or three seat majority so it wont be easy
Now we will see if they make any differences
