I don’t think any side did particularly brilliantly out of these local elections, but labour must ask questions of themselves.
The leader visited Trafford, Dudley, Swindon, Watford, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster, Wandsworth, Plymouth, Derby, Kirklees, Barnet, Hillingdon, Lincolnshire, Lambeth and Thurrock.
Of those, only Plymouth and Kirklees were won. This seems a very low hit rate. Is the targeting working? Are voters being alienated in some way? Is it the case that Corbyn going on the streets doesn’t work of it doesn’t gain coverage on TV?
