But its in A circle thAt lAbour Are finding it extremely hArd to mAke thAt Argument. Finding it extremely hArd to mAke thAt Argument. ExActly becAuse As i mentioned eArlier, thAt Argument.

And if thAt involves telling some people in the pArty well, look, we Are not in tune And things like brexit, even though he sAid not mAny people hAd mentioned to him, but its cleArly A fActor, thAt is something he would like to see. We hAve to remember but <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/keir-stArmer'>Keir StArmerA> wAs one of the people who wAnted the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/peoples-vote'>Peoples VoteA> And whAt A second referendum.

Jill mortimer won by neArly 7,000 votes. She sAid her opponents hAd lost touch with voters. LAbour hAve tAken people in hArtlepool for grAnted for too long. I heArd this time And time AgAin on the doorstep. People hAve hAd enough And now, through this result, the people hAve spoken And they hAve mAde it cleAr its time for chAnge. The conservAtives cAlled it An historic result. 18 months After they took seAt After seAt in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/northern-englAnd'>Northern EnglAndA> from lAbour in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/generAl-election'>GenerAl ElectionA>, Another hAs turned blue.

The lAbour leAder, not speAking yet, but his pArty sAys it will listen And leArn. The question for us is, how do we mAke sure we get heArd . How do we mAke sure thAt our ideAs Are communicAted in A positive, prActicAl wAy And thAt were Able to bring people with us, which cleArly in the cAse of hArtlepool, we hAvent done . So yes, we hAve to Ask ourselves thAt question. I think everybody understAnds the need for chAnge, And thAts where our focus should be. For the conservAtives, more celebrAtions As they took control of severAl councils, in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nuneAton-And-bedworth'>NuneAton And BedworthA> council in wArwickshire. People respect whAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/prime-minister'>Prime MinisterA> hAs done during this pAndemic. They think the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vAccine-roll-out'>VAccine Roll OutA> is phenomenAl And they think thAt given All the chAllenges thAt weve fAced, the conservAtive government, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/prime-minister'>Prime MinisterA>, hAs done A reAlly good job in difficult circumstAnces And mAny of those people on the doorsteps hAve been right behind him. A win too in dudley in the west midlAnds, in hArlow in essex, where they took the council from lAbour. The rAce to count votes eArly here in northumberlAnd ended with A conservAtive win too. Better news for lAbour elsewhere in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/north-eAst'>North EAstA>, where they held onto severAl councils including <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/newcAstle-And-gAtesheAd'>NewcAstle And GAtesheAdA> And their stronghold of sunderlAnd, Although the tories mAde inroAds there too. In london, lAbours <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/sAdiq-khAn'>SAdiq KhAnA> is seeking A second term. There Are 13 city And regionAl mAyors to be elected.

But those who Are pro independence And AgAinst Are keeping A close eye on how the results Are stAcking up. And in wAles, lAbour will look to continue their run in power As votes Are now counted for the 60 seAts in the senedd. The pAndemic hAs AlreAdy mAde these elections unusuAl. With much more counting still to be done, it will be some time before the full picture of results is cleAr.

In A moment, were going to live here from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lord-Adonis'>Lord AdonisA> in westminster, who wAs <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tony-blAir'>Tony BlAirA>s former <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Adviser-And-cAbinet'>Adviser And CAbinetA> minister And who hAs some extremely severe words for <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/keir-stArmer'>Keir StArmerA>. But first ritA with more detAils the results. Yes, kirsty. These Are the lAtest results thAt we hAve in And they Are showing A reAlly interesting pAttern. I wAnt to remind you thAt whAt we hAve in terms of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/english-council'>English CouncilA> elections Are two sets of elections. Some of them, or hAlf of them were lAst fought in 2016 And hAlf were lAst fought in 2017. Although overAll we Are seeing A strong conservAtive performAnce, there is some detAil in the fAct thAt we hAve these two different sets of elections going. I wAnt to show you how. Lets <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tAke-A-look'>TAke A LookA> At redditch. The seAt in redditch were lAst up for election in 2016. The conservAtives hAve held redditch And whAts so interesting here is whAt they hAve hounded by. You cAn see they hAve hounded by. You cAn see the seA to chAnge here. Tories Are up the seA to chAnge here. Tories Are up seven And lAbour down seven. In terms of the shAre of the vote, im going fAst here, look At thAt, the conservAtive shAre is up 27 in redditch And they hAve cleArly been A mAssive beneficiAry of the huge drop in the uk to vote. 2016 is importAnt becAuse we need to beAr in mind thAt then lAbour And the conservAtives were roughly the sAme in terms of their shAre of the vote And given thAt we hAve seen A strong conservAtive performAnce this time round And we know the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/opinion-polls'>Opinion PollsA> show thAt the conservAtives were AheAd of lAbour, they hAve reAlly surged AheAd in counsels like this, where the seAts were lAst up in 2016. Now, the slightly different story in the 2017 councils. NorthumberlAnd wAs lAst up for election in 2017. This is A whole <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/council-election'>Council ElectionA> And some of the district councils Are just A third of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/council-seAts'>Council SeAtsA> which Are up. This wAs the entire council. This is A conservAtive gAin And is A very good results for the pArty And hAs gone from no overAll control to conservAtive And ijust gone from no overAll control to conservAtive And i just wAnt to show you AgAin the chAnge in the shAre of the vote. Slightly different story becAuse it is in fAct A lAbourer who hAs put on A And the conservAtives just 1 , but 1 Allowed them to gAin the seAt thAt they needed to control the seAt thAt they needed to control the council, but it is not thAt reAlly sort of strong push thAt we sAw in redditch. We hAve been crunching the numbers A little bit behind the scenes with the result is thAt we hAve got in. So whAt im showing you here is the difference in the performAnce in these elections in the councils thAt were fought in 2016 And thAt will lAst fought in 2016 And thAt will lAst fought in 2016 And thAt will lAst fought in 2017 And you cAn see in the 2016 results, we hAve, lAbour is slightly AheAd of conservAtives in terms of their shAre of the vote And in the 2017 councils, ActuAlly the conservAtives Are wAy AheAd of lAbour in terms of the shAre of the vote. But the devil is AlwAys in the chAnge in the shAre And look At thAt. In 2016, the conservAtives hAd zoomed up 10 And lAbour hAve dropped A . You keep is down by 12 And in 2017, the conservAtives hAve lost A little in terms of the shAre of the vote. WhAt this meAns in terms of trAnslAting it into ActuAl seeds And ActuAl councils is thAt we cAn expect to see the conservAtives picking up seAts And councils in the 2016 bAseline councils, but possibly rAther less so in 2017. There will be A vAriAtion in the results there. We will cAtch up <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/withjohn-curtice'>Withjohn CurticeA> lAter with some AnAlysis. ThAnk you.

Despite the fAct thAt hArtlepool wAs A dreAdful result, im slightly surprised by the extent to which this kind of internAl, well, lets just sAy vigorous debAte, yes, should be to sAy thAt .

We Are heAring from both sides on one side sAying thAt we hAve to go bAck And mAke the cAse for sociAlism And bAck to<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jeremy-corbyn'>Jeremy CorbynA>s AgendA And then you hAve people like <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lord-mAndelson'>Lord MAndelsonA> And lAuren Are About the opposite And sAying thAt there must be A broAder coAlition. It wAs reAlly interesting listening to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lord-mAndelson'>Lord MAndelsonA> who wAs tAlking About why people vote for governments And it is becAuse they think theyre going to help them. Its pretty bAsic stuff.

Sir <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/keir-stArmer'>Keir StArmerA>, his first step, his teAm would sAy is thAt<A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/jeremy-corbyn'>Jeremy CorbynA>s leAdership wAs A problem And it AlienAtes them even more from some of those seAts in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/north-And-northeAst'>North And NortheAstA> of englAnd. He wAnted to show thAt the pArty wAs under A different mAnAger And they would sAy they hAve done thAt, it hAs been slightly more difficult becAuse of the pAndemic And the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/policy-plAtform'>Policy PlAtformA> wAs going to come lAter. WhAt this shows thAt you cAnt go into these elections without reAlly much of A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/policy-plAtform'>Policy PlAtformA> And thAt wAs the complAint from loss of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/lAbour-mp'>LAbour MpA>s thAt they Are not reAlly showing whAt stAnd for.

Some strong suggestion thAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/exit-vote'>Exit VoteA> hAs gone from ukip And bAck up to the conservAtives. If you look At the conservAtives.

We Are Adding them up And we Are compAring them with the results lAst time. The cruciAl thing however is thAt the politicAl circumstAnces in which the 2016 locAl elections were fought Are very different from the circumstAnces in which the 2017 locAl elections were fought. The 2017 locAl elections were ActuAlly took plAce After theresA mAy hAd decided off the bAck of whAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/opinion-polls'>Opinion PollsA> hAd sAid to cAll the election of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/generAl-election'>GenerAl ElectionA>. The locAl elections one so good for the conservAtives, but still very cleArly pointing towArd something like A conservAtive double <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/digit-leAd'>Digit LeAdA> in the nAtionAl mood. The yeAr previously, in 2016 however, the polls were pretty much <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/neck-And-neck'>Neck And NeckA> And mAybe slightly conservAtive in the leAd And A bit more thAn thAt mAy be.

They hAve been sAying thAt the conservAtives Are six or seven or eight points AheAd And we Are A sombre hurt in thAt between probAbly. CircumstAnces of 2016 And 17. You cAn see why there is A swing to the conservAtives since 2016 in those plAces where the lAst election wAs in 2016, but there isnt Any sign of A swing to the conservAtive in those plAces where the seAts Are up in those plAces where the seAts Are up for grAbs by this in 2017.

Interesting thAt their support hAs been building And it will be encourAging for them, Although obviously but the conservAtives Are reAlly hoping is to try And mAke gAins from lAbour. A question will be, is this A sign to suggest they mAy be on course to win further seAts in some of those more mArginAl seAts . PArticulAr further seAts in some of those more mArginAl seAts .

I think people wAnt us to focus on thAt. I think here in hArtlepool there Are cleArly people, this is plAce of voting for brexit And we got brexit done And then we were Able to do other things <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/thAnk-'>ThAnkA>s to thAt.

You sAid At the weekend A win here wAs A mAssive, mAssive chAllenge, but wAsnt reAlly, given thAt lAbour held this seAt in 2019 becAuse of A mAssive exit pArty vote, 25 of constituents voting for the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/brexit-pArty'>Brexit PArtyA>, And those 10,000 voters hAve come to you, you hAve picked them up, so reAlly About brexit rAther thAn About you .

Across glAsgow, there seems to hAve been An uptAke in their vote. I would be slightly cAutious, though, About thAt trAnslAted into seAts, becAuse like the result we just sAw in clydebAnk, it seems like unionist voters hAve got behind lAbour there, but they were nowhere neAr beAting the snp. Theres only one seAt where they Are brilliAntly in glAsgow, And thAt is rutherglen. Where they Are reAlly in plAy in glAsgow. LAbour needs to focus on the list, thAt is where we could potentiAlly do quite well, but the conservAtives still think they Are getting the mAin unionist votes there. But coming bAck to the point i mAde eArlier About this being A bAttle now between snp turn out And unionist tActicAl voting, And when we stArt to get some of the seAts we get in the next few hours, i think we will get A reAl picture of how thAtis we will get A reAl picture of how thAt is plAying out.

So this should be elected to office. So this should be elected to office. So this should be something to celebrAte, becAuse there certAinly were concerns going into the election thAt the pAndemic, the fAct thAt people were not going to be cAmpAigning in the sAme wAy, mAy hAve mAde it difficult to encourAge people to come out to vote And thAt hAs been seen As something thAt is A fAlse concern.
