Local elections ‘handed a red card to the Tories and a warning to Labour,’ say Britain’s communists
A ballot box is emptied during the count for the Blackpool South by-election at Blackpool Sports Centre, Blackpool, May 2, 2024
COMMUNIST Party general secretary Robert Griffiths says last week’s English local elections “handed a red card to the Tories and a warning to Labour.”
In a report prepared for the party’s political committee, Mr Griffiths highlights that the Liberal Democrats and the Greens gained almost as many extra seats (178) as Labour (186) on May 2.
He said: “Anybody who cares about local communities, public services, jobs and integrity in public life should look forward to the end of Tory rule at Westminster, too.
