The Labour Party in Wokingham borough was left reeling after its party leader was defeated in this year’s local elections. Andy Croy has served as a Labour Councillor for Bulmershe & Whitegates since 2016. Mr Croy had served as the Labour group leader on Wokingham Borough Council. However, in the 2021 elections, Mr Croy was dethroned by Shahid Younis, the Conservative party candidate. It was one of the biggest moments when results were revealed on Saturday, May 8. Speaking on what him and his party will be doing next after his defeat, Mr Croy said: “We’ll carry on. If you’re on the Left of politics there’s the idea of the struggle, and it’s a struggle for a reason, because it’s not easy, because there’s set backs, and when those things happen, you don’t just crawl away, we don’t just give up, we come back stronger, we come back better, and we retake the things that we’ve lost and try and take the seats we haven’t won this time next year.
