Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has admitted the local election results were "not good" for the Conservatives, but insists Rishi Sunak is "starting to deliver in a quiet way for the British people".

 

Her party lost more than a thousand seats after voters went to the polls across England, seeing Labour take over as the largest party in local government for the first time in more than 20 years.

 

The minister told Sky News' Sophy Ridge on Sunday programme that people were "angry and frustrated" with the government, and were finding the rising cost of living "difficult".

But, when it comes to a General Election, and looking at the opposite bench, it will probably invoke a lot of head scratching.............:whistling:

The Tories tried to manage expectations with a pre-election statement that it would be a bad result if they lost a thousand seats.

 

Then they lost over a thousand.

 

Sunak and the Tories are walking towards the departure lounge.

But, a General Election is a waaaay different matter. I recall Boris and his resounding win...

When it comes to the crunch, folk will have to sit back and think who might be running the country.

Just imagine a Labour/ Lib Dem duo..........????

But look at the absolute disaster that has befallen the UK since Cameron took office. 13 years of Tory corruption, theft and incompetence has wreaked havoc across the UK. Do you really think people will look at the Tories with anything other than contempt?

 

You forget, the other lot had Corby & Abbott, and it hasn't improved now  with Starmer & Reiner................:whistling:

Well the losses were predicted also said after Labour didn't get that good of a result as many just voted Lib-dem, Green, Independent and others so I saw it as a protest vote. 

Poor turn out too I thought I heard reported.

Maybe so but who's going to win?

 

The local council elections results were anti government more than pro Labour.

 

If Labour don't win a majority at the next general election, they will be unelectable for many years to come.

I’m not sure how you got from your ‘if’ to your assertion.

 

Regardless, I suspect the calculation being fretted over right now is by a number of Tory MP’s looking at an enforced unemployment in 2024.

It's an extremely quiet, some may even argue silent, way.

What else can Rishi do other than what he is doing, there's not much of a uk money tree.

I fail to see what Labour could do other than make things worse.

Of course you would suspect that. Your political leaning is obvious.

 

However, I would think Labour's calculations of how many seats they need for a majority will be far more important to them than how many the Tories might lose.

There's plenty of money in the UK. It's just in all the wrong places. And that's a direct result of "what he is [and isn't] doing".

 

"I fail to see what Labour could do other than make things worse."

 

Well luckily for all of us, you'll have the opportunity to find out after the next election how they can improve things.

Maybe and I would hope so for the population of UK. 

My bias i guess living and working most of my life UK the only time i did well for myself was always under a conservative govt.

The way Starmer and his shadow cabinet talk, they're going to need to find many more billions to achieve their goals. Where's it going to come from?

Before getting to hear about Sir Starmer I thought he was Conservative. ????

The main gripe in the U.K is the cost of living crisis and the huge price increases across the board .

   The price rises have been caused by Covid and Ukraine .

A change of Government will not rectify the situation 

Right. No one cares much about the NHS at all.

An obvious one to start with would be to take us back into the EU and help all those thousands of businesses that have been damaged but the stupidity of brexit, but sadly Labour seem deaf to that idea.

Well by all accounts to rejoin the EU is never going to happen and my opinion has always been UK should never of joined in the first place.

Pointless to discuss brexit anymore,  what's needed is peace in the world.

That isnt true .

British people care a lot about the N.H.S

And yet you claim it's parlous condition isn't going to be a major issue in the upcoming elections. Even Tory voters think the conservatives have done a bad job.

I didn't claim that, no . 

Although Labour will probably run with the slogan * Three days to save the NHS or Tories will sell it off , so vote Labour or lose the NHS* , as they usually do
