    I guess Labour voters aren't on social media. Haven't found one positive comment on behalf of Labour? So, who the hell is ticking the box?

    I never voted Labour or Tory in my local elections. I voted Reform. Ultimately we all knew from the get go Labour was going to wipe the floor with the Tories and they will do so again come the general election at the end of the year unless Reform do something pretty spectacular, lets be honest. However, in my opinion NEITHER party deserved my vote therefore I went with the 3rd option. When Labour inevitably do just as bad as the Tories I can hold my head and my middle finger up at all those Labour voters who thought their party was above it all and have a bloody good laugh at them.

    People objection voting away from the Conservatives are foolishly thinking in a 2 party mindset. All the things they are objecting to will also be done by Labour. Only on a larger scale. Neither of the big 2 deserve to remain among the big 2
