‘The Tories are finished’: Labour win Selby and Ainsty with a 24% swing
A similar swing across the country would result in Labour winning more seats than in Tony Blair’s 1997 landslide, the party has claimed.
A similar swing across the country would result in Labour winning more seats than in Tony Blair’s 1997 landslide, the party has claimed.
It comes as the party remains deeply divided following Sir Keir Starmer's U-turn on the Conservatives’ two-child benefits cap.
The Labour leader confirmed he would retain the two-child limit despite growing calls from poverty campaigners for the cap to be abandoned.
He's looking to raise £150k to run a full campaign, but has already met the initial £25k target that will allow him to run in the elections.
The chief of the UK’s largest trade union urged Sir Keir Starmer to ‘deliver on jobs, pay and conditions’.
It's alleged that Keir Starmer told his colleagues that he HATES so-called 'tree-huggers', after clashing with Ed Miliband.
The deputy leader says the party has got a "very inspirational plan" to win over voters at the next election.
Diane Abbott described the results as "remarkable given the unremitting hostility to him of the Labour Party establishment."
The transport union general secretary said ideas that John McDonnell put forward have now "come to fruition".
