Local elections 2021 results: ‘Labour is too strong to die but too weak to win’ | Analysis

The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Local elections 2021 results: ‘Labour is too strong to die but too weak to win’ | Analysis” – below is their description.

Labour appears to be in “a strange situation where it’s too strong to die and too weak to win”, according to The Telegraph’s Deputy Political Editor Lucy Fisher.

Jill Mortimer, Hartlepool’s first ever Conservative MP, said the Labour Party “took Hartlepool for granted” for 47 years in the wake of a historic win which represents a further hole in the Red Wall.

As Sir Keir Starmer faces calls for a Cabinet reshuffle, Labour figures are urging for a change in direction to save the party from further defeats.

In the video above, Lucy Fisher analyses the fallout from the “disastrous” elections and sets out the challenges for Labour as it attempts to recover.
