- Pat McFadden, Labour's national campaign coordinator, says beating Andy Street in the race for the West Midlands metro mayoralty was "beyond our expectations".
But he told Trevor Phillips it was too early to say whether Labour can replicate Tony Blair's 1997 historic general election landslide win.
Labour won several mayoral battles on Saturday, including London and the West Midlands, and handed the Tories a drubbing in Thursday's local elections.

This has absolutely nothing to do with Labour’s party campaigning (or lack of for obvious reasons) and wholly to do with the conservative party’s awful self serving “leadership” in the past 5 years. The last 3 years being the poorest excuse for a government I have ever witnessed.
It is more to do with the last 14 years of clear national decline. The last five years is just a symptom of poor governance by mediocre people with an overabundance of undeserved confidence, spurred on by a pro-authoritarian media spreading quasi-fascistic propaganda instead of presenting the factual news and analysis. Hopefully th UK public have learned their lesson this time round.
The UK is no longer fit for purpose .Each part needs to be able to cut the strings and govern themselves
Yet!
The corruption in the current government is appaling
and low turn out.
I despise this current crop of corrupt tories, just a shame labour doesnt speak for me either.
If I was deciding between the lesser of two evils - I’d choose the lesser every time!
@@albfromeng But the lesser of two evils is still evil and its what has led this nation to the state its in now. We should not be satisfied with the lesser evil, we should demand good.
@@TheAlexagius tell me how! I’m there
@@albfromengdon’t do that. We all need to abstain and then force them to fix the system.
@@albfromeng The first thing that needs to be done is work to get rid of first past the post system. This system ensures a two party duopoly, with a third party acting as a lapdog to one of the two. With proportional representation we'd be like much of Europe which is generally better than we are now. It makes it possible for small parties to get seats and air points and grow.
As an example UKIP got more than double votes of the SNP in 2015. Despite this the SNP got 56 seats to UKIPs 1. The Lib dems got a million more than the SNP, but still 1.5 million less than UKIP and got 8 seats.
This system means that one vote is not equal to another, with a Scottish vote being worth more than an English vote. This is unfair and unjust.

Sky News's amateur reporter squad: "If we extrapolate yesterdays results, which covered only part of England and Wales and ignored Scotland and Northern Ireland, featured independents and residents associations that won't run during the General and which were not for parliamentary elections and therefore generally have far smaller turnout, we get a meaningless answer, but we'll push it because we're more interested in the horse race than the result."
what makes Labour better than the Tories? Nothing.
The interviewee has mentioned the word "change" for like 10 times, but what policy in particular is he referring to? None.
They aren't better, just be worse if possible, both wrecking the country, we're doomed
14 year of tories enough is enough
It will be 19 years of Tories when
Labour wins.
From 1997 UK has been on a downward trend.
Amen! Get em gone! Were fed up of privileged Tory snakes lining their pockets and managing things terribly
Agree there was massive recession in 2008,many people had a bad a sad time for more than 5 years,labour never made any pay rise after ruling so many only Conservative Party did it
Good luck with socialism!
Ps:with love from Eastern Europe!
The mood for change is not contained by the Labour party: our politics needs to change from FPTP to PR.
People act as if both mainline parties are still not just variations on Tony Blair's Labour as is.
The fact is very little meaningful will change (for the better) no matter who wins as they agree on all the issues bar a few. Both support curtailing your free speech, both support endless wars, both support the disastrous economic policies which have brought this nation to ruin, and while Labour claims to want to nationalise various things (which they can actually legally do thanks to Brexit) they don't seem to have a plan to pay for it.
I hope I am wrong, I hope they become a working man's party which acts for the average person, but we all know they won't, just watch their conferences and all the talk about nonsense issues that don't matter. The fact is this first past the post system prevents political change which is exactly as designed.
Don’t lose hope! Starmer may prove to be more principled than his quiet persona suggests. Most importantly, he was raised in a working class household. -he knows what it’s like to live as a regular person in Britain. The tories have destroyed people’s faith in politics, but there is still hope.
The UK was much better under Blair. Wages higher and NHS ten times better under Tony
@destro1989 that's because we hadn't had 20 years of uncontrolled immigration.
@@SKELETONBONELORD Under the Tory government
Galloway and Corbyn are the only two decent people in the whole of parliament, and the rest of the house laughs at them. We are soooooo F***ed.
Labour will win due to "desperation voting" not popularity
Yes people trying to desperately get away from what the Tory party has done for 14 years.
it’s like a revolving door …..Tory party mess up labour gets in then labour messes up Tory party gets in over and over again.
There is a mood for change but not for the Labour Party.
Exactly. Labour could only be worse.
Time will tell, i guess...
@@In_Paradiso58time has already told, that’s why labour were smashed in a landslide defeat
"bringing buses back into Public Control" -- "these are ambitions, not policies".
Public Control of public transport is Labour policy, and it's starting to be delivered in Greater Manchester, South Yorkshire etc. and that will only continue to grow now with more Labour Mayors.
Labour do get back in again,They be doing a lot worse than attacking the sick and ill people,One thing good for that,Others get their sickness Benefit completely axed,To those who are fit for work and choose not to work,Getting something they not even entitled too,I know people who get PIP and got nothing wrong with them,Feel sorry for those who are sick and ill and can't work
The choice we have is incompetence or greater incompetence, no the wonder turnouts are low, but I sense change in a general election, people are waking up, slowly but surely.
So wish that were true!, but alas the results in all our big cities prove otherwise!
@@colinellison762 Council elections never reflect general elections
It's one useless legacy Party abolished, one more to go!
Silly man, it has nothing to do with Labour.
Great results for Independents...All 107 Councils declared...276 Independent and Resident Association Cllrs...up 104 or + 60%. A Labour majority is not inevitable.
And they won’t do anything different from the Tory party
They will, they'll double everything our national debt, migration etc
I used to be a member of the Labour party and yet I now find myself completely unable to vote for them. Keir Starmer is just another red tory like Blair war. He is no more left wing than Rishi Sunak.
Our main objective now is too defeat the Tories.
A landslide of big proportions. Tories are in for a shock.
Then next?😂😂😂
@@rajeshx1983rebuild the country and repair relations with neighbouring countries
Our main objective now is too defeat the Tories AND Labour.
Im surprised these guys were ever electable. That turn to the right they have been trying should remain a stain for decades to come (but obviously no one can predict the future).
Nowhere man Ritchie Sunak is waxing his surfboard and big splash Penny Mordaunt is deciding on wallpaper. No matter, the Tories face extinction at the general election.
So does good old blighty.😱
Why do we only have 2 options?
We don't but none of the other parties will ever get enough votes to contest
@@iGoldenBen ever wonder why that is?
We don't have good options but we have more options than the US.
Considering what they did after their 1997 win, let's hope this isn't a repeat...
Anyone is better than Labour or Tories
For all his shortcomings Sunak has managed one noteworthy accomplishment, he's managed to unite the left and the right... united in their desire to kick him and his government out of number 10.
It's not just muslims that are turned off by Labour's reluctance to condemn Israel's actions. For me it shows a complete lack of moral courage. The one lesson Starmer should take from New Labour is not how they won, but that blindly supporting US foreign policy will ultimately cost him elections at home, as well as his soul.
Seems many disagree
Ah yes the alternative is such a bright moral guide, NOT
@@abbofun9022What alternative, they are both the same.
Starmer needs to take the votes of those with no morals at all off the Tories.
Moral courage doesn't put food on the table
I despise Rishi Sunak however I despise Starmer and Rayner in equal measure. Come on ! there must be good people out there who can lead us out of this mess.
Keyword Trust something that no f-in politician will ever earn
To me there just isn’t a single party that actually has this country at heart or will accurately represent the British people.

Someone who actually knows what they're talking about and can string a sentence together, in sharp contrast with Andrea Jenkyns.
The sad things is if your choice is the 2 main parties then nothing will change or improve. It's like voting for Dog s#it or Cow S#it
Labour would argue they are more like the cow waste and more productive as this could be safely used as fertiliser when the Tories dog waste cannot. It could be said both options are a waste.
We are heading for Starmergedon.
Labour and the Conservatives two cheeks of the same backside .
Landslide? More landfill😂
The only thing going for labour is people are fed up of tories, but labour are the same. The difference is that labour announce their policies asif they appeal to the general public. Lol
For one thing the NHS will survive under Labour.
the way i see it the conservatives have had 10 years to fix the country and they've only made it worse. do i think labour are any better no but we may as well let someone else take a crack at it
Well done West Midlands
Why aren't sly news talking about all the wins for independents/greens and the George Galloway workers party.
George Galloway Workers Party 😂😂😂😂.
George Galloway has never done an honest days work in his life , when George Galloway is attempting to do a days work it is like Kriptonite to Superman and could kill him , George Galloway has even had an X-Ray to see if he actually has a days work in him.
George Galloway Workers Party 😂😂😂.
They have been talking about the wins for independents and Greens. Galloway’s Party got 4 councillors which is why they aren’t being mentioned much.
A one-man protest party for someone who represents himself
Galloway won four seats - hardly newsworthy at this stage.
@@Bungle-UK Reform won 2 but the media won't stop bleating on about them.
Torygeddon. 💀
But it’s not a Labour Party and Starmer needs to go
Yes but nobody wants labour.
and what explains their recent victories though?
Sunak's private jet was already in the air taking him to Birmingham to celebrate the victory. It had to turn around.
A great day for democray. An ELECTED leader. Unlike ' I see a glimmer of hope in these election results' Sunak.
I will be voting reform, and if there is a more extreme party I will vote for them. First time in my life I wont be voting conservative, my instinct about Sunak was right, he is a wet lettuce
Britain First got beat by Count Binface.
Hahahaha
I remember 97, Tony Blair amd his family walking among hundreds of Union Flag waving Brits, and I thought, "What a great day for our country. A new, young, dynamic PM."
And what happened? He signed us up to the EU and its Human Rights Act, let in untold numbers of legal and illegal immigrants, took £5bn from pensions. Almost every week I read of an illegal committing a serious crime yet being allowed to stay because of the HRA. And of course they trashed the economy, leaving a note saying "sorry there's no money left" when they got kicked out in 2010.
If they win the election the same will happen again.
That's complete nonsense.
The U.K was thriving when Labour was in government. Many new builds in the NHS. Waiting lists non existent. New schools. The introduction of the minimum wage. People had more money in their pockets. There was a global financial crash....Labour did not cause the crash.
Tony Blair didn't "join us up to the EU". We've been in the EU since 1972! Lol...
The ECOHR has nothing to do with the EU … and that note was a joke note left by each chancellor…. Cameron weaponised it and used it as propaganda and it worked on small minded people who parrot it later on …
@@BobC250read the statement properly 😂
@@susanmorgan3104Labour let in millions of EU citizens without using its concessions to limit freemovement,which resulted in housing and rentals ballooning in price,because of supply and demand issues.
Labour did not regulate the banks, like all of the western countries, causing the crisis, money ran out to lend to borrowers. If house prices keep rising because of demand, then a once 100k home now selling for 400k, meaning banks run out of capital to lend, hence bankruptcy
God help us under Starmer..
and god help us under any one else in Labourrrrrrrrr rubbish,Don't make me live under Labourrrrrrrrrrrr crap again
we want to hear the policies NOW
#GeneralElectionNow
Go Labour
If these results are a snap shot of current public opinion, then yes we will see a repeat of 97. If not then I can see a Lib/Lab coalition with Steady Eddie playing King Maker and maybe demanding PR in future. Either way the change that the nation needs is coming.
Labour promised electoral reform in 1997, formed a commission to look into it but then ignored the result published in 1998. In 2010 the "outgoing" Labour government proposed legislation to enact an "Alternative Vote Referendum" but failed due to lack of parliamentary time.
That referendum went ahead in 2011 and the voters that day chose to stick with FPTP, I suspect it might be different in 2025 but I doubt it will be on offer if Labour come anywhere close to matching their 1997 win.
McFadden has the right attuite for a campaign director. Complacency in politics is quite dangerous.
We are so fucked
Obviously we aren’t, since we’re moving to get rid of an awful government, if we kept voting for them I’d say we were fucked for sure
@@goych Labour is no bloody better
STOP THE BOATS
STOP THE CONS...
the people say it but when we said it when thatcher opened the doors she said "I'm in charge" other words this is not a democracy now the Tories ignore us and continue to let them in and Stammer has said he will give the boat people asylum again the voice of the people being ignored again evidence we are not a democratic country
Stop boat labour won't do that
Labour will take £1000 and spend £1300 on £450 of things we didn't ask for
Who still believes that any political party works for the people and the country?
Labour will have a similar general election result to the 2010 general election.
Very low energy for a campaign leader.
They need a rethink on the point of Gaza because they had a bit of a wake up call

Less than half the population will vote. That’s the biggest problem. Most of us know it’s pointless because Bankers run the world. If a politician fixes that we’re back in the game.
