      Not a shock.

      Birmingham has a large Muslim population and labour were seen as too friendly to Israel over the Gaza war.

      I’ve been expecting labour to be wiped out in Birmingham

      It’s hardly a “shock poll” lol, anyone paying attention could predict that

      Shock? Shock to who? Someone who’s been living under a rock?

      People are pointing out the Muslim vote but there’s a dynamic here not much discussed. Muslims skew younger than the national average (average age of a Muslim is 27 versus 41 nationally).

      Actually what you see on the Left is older people, Muslim or otherwise, sticking with Labour whereas younger people of all communities moving to the Greens. So Muslims are more Green than the national average because of the youth factor.

      Interestingly this is not the case to the Right of politics. Older voters have largely embraced Reform and make up the backbone of their support, far from this claim we often hear that young men are being radicalised.

      All a party has to do is promise to clean up the bins and pay what is due. Pretty much guarantees a victory.

      Who’s shocked? They barely won last time, and the Muslim vote has left them, as have the working class whites

      If I lived in one of the most bankrupt councils area

      I’d be voting for labour

      Why? if I’m labour running the country and I have a bankrupt council with no labour politicians in there, only opposing parties

      I’d say fuck em and let them rot in their own rubbish

      They would drop to the bottom of the priority list

      But we were being so friendly to Trump and working on winning over Reform voters!

      Who knew that taking your base for granted and slavishly chasing votes from people who hate you isn’t sound strategy and just leaves your base very much up for grabs by parties with policy that they actually like

      The obviously deserve to, but the council that takes control afterwards is going to be extremely dysfunctional. Eventually Birmingham will probably be controlled by pro-Gaza independents (aka Yakoob and his followers). Won’t be this time but the demographic change essentially makes it inevitable.

      one wonders how long the bollard in human form will be “leader” after the local election results are in

      Wait till you see the absolute destruction of the Labour Party in May

      Wales, Scotland and local elections

      They are going to finish 3rd or 4th in all of them

      Labour has never lost in Wales

      They will be 4th this time

      Remember that your voting choice has consequences. I hope you can live with that and not cry afterwards.

      Interestingly the rise of the green party will probably help identify Muslim voting areas
