I wasn't at all surprised, I'm a member of Momentum & there is a huge, but totally unreported, utter contempt for Starmer & the official Labour Party by many former staunch Labour supporters.

Encouraging!
What I find discouraging is that Reform gained only two seats in the local elections!
I am still hoping to see a stronger reaction in their favour in the general election.
