Positives and areas where they have managed to hold control of councils, potentially some of the mayor raises my give them a bit of a Silver Lining but on the whole, the great picture is pretty bleak for the tories. Let me show you this. First of all, this is the vote share compared to 2021 when the seats were last contested. In 2021, Boris Johnson got a bit of around two bounce after the Vaccine Roller but look what happened since. The change in the last three years. That is the tory vote change, down 14 . That is pretty big. Its worth looking through some councils when the conservatives used to be in power but are not any more because of this. Have a look here at redditch. This is a Bellwether Seat and we said that all morning and an area with the parties think the result is pretty indicative of how the country is feeling. Look at that. The conservatives have lost 11 seats, labour won ten and it means this long line of blue down here is done. This is now a labour controlled council.
And they came a close third to the conservatives. Heres the result their candidate came in just 117 votes behind their conservative rival securing 17 of the vote. I spoke to the leader of reform uk richard tice and asked him if he was pleased with the result or frustrated not to have done better.

This is a seismic shift. What about the idea for voters that actually you did very well Given National vote share and the things you mentioned, nobody will dispute that, but its still nowhere near actually winning a seat, so what does that say to voters in the area . That says we have the wrong E
lot of people thought they would not be standing when the music stopped. we have a big issue about how to manage risk and resilience in government, something we have looked at since covid in particular. we think there was a big issue there about making sure we are prepared for the worse, hoping for the best, but too often, covid really showed up but too often, covid really showed up some elements of our system that show we were not preparing for the worse, and had to act fast, and in many cases, act fast and rather loose, really, with government finances. i want to ask you about the cost of the rewind scheme. we learned last week 219 million, so an extra 100 million this year and 50 million to rwanda next year. you were questioning the permanent secretary from the home office today, and we learned that more money is going to be paid next year, the year after, and the year after that. but he wasn t able to tell you how much. why? wasn t able to tell you how much. wh ? , ., , ,
