Unfortunately, we just know that Labour's takeaway from the local election results will be: "Reform has won lots of seats, we must be even more like Reform," rather than: "Reform has won lots of seats, how did we lose so many people who didn't vote for Reform?"

@Stevenheywood@mastodonapp.uk It's a continuation of what happened in 2025 with 23 councils. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election/2025/england/results

@Stevenheywood@mastodonapp.uk It’s quite interesting looking at some of the multi-member elections where the candidate permutation allows you to estimate vote split. I’m urban London, but in those near me a rough calculation suggests as much as 40% of the Green vote came from Labour.
