Following Thursday’s vote, the party lost 474 council members nationwide in addition to prominent mayoral contests, with Labour eliminating West Midlands mayor Andy Street in a closely contested fight.
“It is always incredibly disappointing when you lose hardworking councillors, police and crime commissioners, and fantastic mayors like Andy Street… It was a testament to him that that result was so close,” the minister said in an interview with the News’ Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips. Thus, I can see why that might disappoint some individuals.
However, I believe that the most important thing that people should do right now is support the prime minister, concentrate on the policies that the government is trying to implement—namely, the British people’s priorities regarding immigration and the economy—and go out and fight for those policies across the nation before the general election.
