  So Labour increases its number of local councillors and produces its best local election performance in London since 1971, whereas the Tories, despite apparently picking up all the UKIP plague votes (and despite the corporate media's helpful Corbyn- and Russophobia) lose 33 seats and 2 councils, a performance that was worse than the last direct comparison in 2014 (when Cameron did 'badly' according to the Torygraph), and the embarrassment is Labour's? Only someone who could spin us into a war on Iraq could come up with such a squint-eyed opinion.

  
  
  As if your point needed amplifying...
  
  So, Alastair Campbell is not impressed with Labour's return in the Local Elections, let's just do a little comparison:
  
  Labour Gains/Losses:
  2018: +77
  Whilst Alastair was working for Labour:
  1998: -88
  1999: -1,161
  2000: -568
  2001: 0
  2002: -334
  2003: -833
  TOTAL LOSSES: -2,984
