Labour Abandon By-Elections

Not even standing candidates!

A real sign of a declining party? One that doesn’t even put up candidates to stand in all elections anymore.

That is the dire state of the Labour Party now.

When it comes to the state of the country, things aren’t great either.

Unsurprisingly, Labour’s lethal cocktail of broken promises and higher taxes has led to an economy that is really struggling.

UK unemployment is nearing a five-year high and we’ve just learnt that the economy recorded zero growth in January. Zero.

Over 40,000 illegal migrants were allowed to cross to England on boats last year, thousands more have already come this year.

And the insanity of Net Zero has been exposed once more by world events that once again underline why independence should be the number one energy priority.

It is a horrendous record in Government that has led to Labour plunging in the national polls, with some now showing the next election as being a Reform vs. Green battle.

We’re now used to weekly Labour local Council by-election defeats.

Yet it did catch my eye this week that things have got so bad for Labour that they didn’t even stand a candidate in multiple elections that took place yesterday.

Remarkably, Labour’s failure to even put up a candidate seems to include a by-election in a Labour-held constituency.
