im sure labour will gain, probably as much down to a protest vote as anything, as is usual in locals.
I find it ironic though, that although there are some very good arguments with regard to mess that the Conservatives are in right now, labour are not much more electable than the Corbyn years, no way would i vote for labour right now, its terrible to have such a weak opposition.
I can see why so many people are so......disenchanted with politics in general, democracy only works properly when we have someone you want to actually vote for, tbh i dont really want to vote for any of them, they are all as bad as each other, in different ways.
