Analysis of the local election results suggest that, despite making gains, Labour could be short of winning a majority at the next election 🔎 But the party has sought to play down the possibility of entering a coalition government with the Lib Dems
whether Labour would be prepared to go into coalition with the Lib Dems, Mr Streeting said: “We’re not even entertaining that prospect … I just don’t think that is the scenario that we are going to be in after the next general election.”programme that Liberal Democrats’ “recovery” in areas “isn’t somehow a risk to a Labour majority, it is a path to a Labour majority”.
A Labour spokesperson said: “Results from Friday have us on course for a Labour majority government, that’s what we’re gunning for, we aren’t considering anything else.” The party made headway in regions it will need to win to form a majority in the House of Commons, gaining councils in former Tory-dominated areas of Medway, Dover, Swindon and Plymouth as well as winning in Stoke, a key target seat.
It came close to regaining control over two of its key red wall targets – Darlington and Hartlepool – but remained one seat short of a majority.
