Labour celebrate as Tories hammered in by-election and council races
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has renewed his demand for Rishi Sunak to go to the polls after the prime minister suffered a by-election drubbing and bruising council losses across England.
The opposition has also boasted of winning in the Tory leader's "backyard", notching up a victory in the contest for York and North Yorkshire mayor, which includes his Richmond constituency.
But while Mr Sunak said the the grim early results were "disappointing" for the Conservatives, he insisted he was "focused completely on the job at hand" and seized on the party holding the Tees Valley mayoralty.

No one is voting for Labour, they are voting to get rid of the Tories. Which is the difference!
There all crooks.
The Tories gave the country nothing.
That’s not true, we got austerity, polluted beaches , they done loads
@@chedz3409 Labour under Tony Bliar Gave us BANKRUPTCY & Five Wars Labour lost fighting for USA!
They gave us plenty of things. Margret thatcher and hundreds of thousands dead AIDs Patients.
Same sex marriage w8rh ed daveys lot
LIEbour will give the country nothing!!
Starmer didn't win, we simply have had enough of Sunak's bullshit and have no other choice of voting
Domt think reform stood there did they?
Um, he kind of did... :)
Is he going to end the cost of living crisis NO is the answer!!!! It will be same old things like the Tories!!!
Speak for yourself bud.
@@nicenac What on earth is that based on?
Sunak has taken enough from us time he went
Prime minister, Just put the country out of its misery and call a general election now !
The reins change hands but the direction will stay the same
Yes please the sooner we have a labour government the better
"Keeping council tax low" Joker
Not suprsing, Tories are split between Refrom and conservtives. Their normal voters are split. This isn't people voting for Labour but against the tories
And voting in Labour.
They're getting rid of Tories by voting in Tories with a different tie on. Like sheep from one pen to another.
Well that is still voting Labour.
Torries are more left than KGB
It’s still voting Labour no matter what. Sour grapes to Reform and Tory voters. The blame game starts.
People in this country so dumb thinking either of these parties will do anything good for the country
Dumb is an understatement
Couldn't agree more. Lost all faith in the British people. They obviously want more of the same crap.
I was a big fan of Reform until the Beau Dade incident
It’s not about who will do any good, it’s about who does less damage which would be labour
Sigh
Keeping council tax low??? 😂😂😂😂
Mine is 220.
2 right 👍 M8.. Tories OUT..
Winning by default. What was the voter turnout?
Wouldn't be surprised if its around 40% and another minority win on less than 20% of the electorate voting for them... it's the trend and voter apathy winning the day 👍
Low, same as the Brexit one
@@colgreen29 nah, voter turnout was 72%., higher than the last 7 general elections
There's a reason it's called the Political Theatre
Screw both major party's time for change, real change
Like what ? Only option is to restore absolute Monarchy and bring back colonies to work for them .
Suspect he's implying everyone should rally around the far right Reform party or lobbying for momentum to take over Labour again (because what the country really needs is more extremists)
Only realistic way of getting tories out, is to vote labour. Anything else is a naive waste of a vote and will contribute to the tories finding their way back in again at the next GE.
@@stevenalderley9036 voting for socialism in 2024 is the most ridiculous thing ever , there's enough evidence, internet,books to educate yourself on this topic and never ever vote socialist . And the so called Tories were nothing more than socialists too . If they were true conservative party LGBT would've been banned , islam would've been gone and Christianity restored .
@@user-mf5ue6rc5nor go the other way. Overthrow the monarchy and current system in its entirety (it hasnt exactly served us well, at least since the empire ended). Then we can bring the colonies back under a united commonwealth
More taxes and more government
PLEASE replace sunak now.
Rishi sunak and keir stormer have the same politics, don't vote for either.
100% OVER TARGET ....All a mockingbird...UK CITY OF LONDON CROWN CORPORATION = CLOWN SHOW for the sheep! x
Talk similar but slightly different ^
Yeah right
Starmer earnestly believes in public service
What similarities do they have?
But he never campaigned as a Tory never wore his Tory rosette
Starman is wearing that!😆😅😂😅😆😅😂
An extremely low turn out don't forget to report....BIAS
Excuses. Same excuses as last year.
Typical for a by-election no?
They always seem to overlook the blatantly obvious .
Thats even worse then, if the turnout was low, and the tories still got hammered. What does that say for the GE? Its gonna be a landslide.
@@CJones-99 exactly.
Ritchie Sunak is waxing his surfboard and Penney Mordaunt is choosing new wallpaper.
good all the Tories have done is break the country to its knees we need a change
And labour will put the last nail in the coffin of once great British Empire
@@MrLaking123 what Tories they are as socialist as labour UK politics is such comedy .
No they won't we need a labour government
Labour haven’t won a thing, rather the others have lost.
Muslims are running this country it's pretty obvious they got both parties and do what they like
If people went and voted for them, they won. If people didn't care for them, they would simply stay at home
😂😂😂😂🤡
Comical.
Rishi should do a Ramaswamy all over England from now.
It's time to swap scrips.
Good luck with your Labour Councils!
Let's face it there are many of them.
On a par with Majors drubbing in 1996? What a comeback.
The people clapping are absolute sheep💀🐑🐑
These parties are witless and incompetent. Should all be sacked.
Remember how the Labour left the country when they were last time in power
Actually better than it is now. And that was a global banking crash after Thatcher and Reagan deregulated everything.
Yes i do it was in a better state than it is now
Hard to be excited about electing a mayor to do a job few of the electorate even know what they are supposed to do, thus those that voted largely did so on national voting lines not local recognition of a decent job done locally.
Cry more 😂
A total success for Rishi Sunak's 'Stop The Votes' campaign
Rip uk
Labour does know that ppl didn't vote for them. They just voted against the tories
I don’t think we will be celebrating very long..
The Tories are done and they know it.
That’s right Britain take back your England NOW
Allah Akbar brother! I cannot wait until labour turbo charge the pakistani-African colonisation of England!!
Take it back so labour can give it away , all three main parties crooked.
it's a globalist uni party wake the hell up, zero seats
Ah God…it’s about to get a whole lot woker isn’t it? 😞
And sky news love it
Towi side of same coin thia makes no change more support for 🔵⚪️
Tories down... next we go after Labour. Out, out, out.
Great victories for Labour.
Nothing to cheer about. Labour is no longer a working class party.
What is a 'working class party' exactly?
@@jonathanfell688 A party that supports working people from bottom to top, not top to bottom.
@@jonathanfell688 one that can never win, like corbyn's labour
COME ON PEOPLE WE NEED THIS REFORM UK
politics battle royal
ploud... not fit to be leader unfortunately.
Conservative Voters ID backfire...
Since sunak come into power all we have had was cost of living going through the roof the rich getting rich the poor staying poor homelessness ruwanda thats he has done nothing to make peoples life any better
A lifelong Labour voter and active supporter here but sadly will not vote that way for the 1st time. I'll never vote Tory so it'll be an independent or Green. Labour have moved so far away from its core values, they're almost indistinguishable from the others. Starmer's pathological lies and flip flopping kills any hope for change.
Agree. I only voted labour when Corbyn was leader. The problem with Jeremy Corbyn he had too much association with that Palestinian stuff etc. that put people off. if only labour choose someone without that kind of baggage but held onto his core pledges maybe they would have had a good chance of winning against Sunak because lets face it Sunak is a terrible PM. Labour under Starmer are RED TORIES!!!!
Yep, two Tory parties to choose from now
Now another posing at football club...
I have voted conservatives for over 20 years. This year I have voted Labour.
Over 20 years voting Tory, why
Thissss year To save me from tears I'll give my vote to someone special Last election
No difference between them
Doesn't matter nothing meaningful will change.
Fake
Sunak sink
It is now time to call a General Election.
Save mental health from death❤
Time for change let's see if the Labour Party can run this country better than the current billionaire benefit killer
No decent change either, then. Folk have such short memories when it comes to the main two parties.
Just think of the beautiful utopia we will all be living in when Labour get into number 10 it’s going to be marvellous
Lol 😂 nothing is going to change, same coin different face
Very diverse dystopia.
@@mohammedkhan5344 but still not 5 more years of tories.
@@melgrant7404 vote for workers party
The type of democracy the tories have feared for years
Its extremely worrying that some people still voted tory 😳
Those that voted Labour still voted Tory as that's what Starmer and his party are.
The people will be very much poorer with the labourers party.
A poor result for labour, most of the conservative losses were to the Lid Dems, Independant, Green and Reform. People are fed up with labour too for not dealing with the immigrant crisis.
Errr Labour haven't been in power for fourteen years.
@@pip1723 I don't think they're playing with a full deck lets be honest.
Labour don't view it as a crisis, but as progress. They can't wait until these islands resemble India more than Britain
@pip1723 Point is, they are actively pushing for mass migration.
No immigrant crisis when the Tories came to power. They created it. Deliberately.
Red Tories arses
Good hard working tories, ha ha joke !!!
Well done Labour!
God help us
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done labour
Fab news Happy weekend all bring on the GE! ❤🍕🏠🎉🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴
Fabulous night. The Right crushed.
Gotta hurt to be wrong all the time huh ??? Better being right than left alone and wrong . By the way Torries policies were radical left ,nothing right .
Great everything will be free can’t wait
voting for a person who wants to make misgendering a prison sentence is embarassing
Getting your news from the Daily Mail is embarrassing.
Great victory for Labour well done! :)
It really isn't though. It's just being painted that way. Labour haven't picked up the Tory losses. Labour lost some key seats in councils.
Yay yay yay Labour will build more 5 star hotel's and build more houses for the migrants Labour stand for sod the English people
Try to think big picture, and drop the migrant issue for five minutes. The Tories have main control over migrants coming to our Country, not Labour.
And when the GE comes I'm sure labour will be celebrating officially opening Britain to the illegals - unless we stop them and vote reform.
woz it a refugee wot bummed u as a tiddler?
Reform Ltd us not even a democratic Party.
both head of the same snake...the next WEF puppets

Anyone voting Labour needs to take a long look inside. As a Northallerton Town fan it's hilarious that Keir Starmer visited the club. He wouldn't know a football from a Hamas artillery shell.
