sir keir starmer mentioned _ medway. over to you. sir keir starmer mentioned three i medway.have a look in more detail at each of these seats. medway in kent, this had been conservative since 2003, that was when sir keir starmer has gone to celebrate. it has not been labour since 1998. the reason he is happy under his leadership it has gone back to the labour party directly from the conservatives. labour getting 33 seats, the conservatives on 22. can i draw your attention down here? it is a 64% leave vote in the brexit referendum in 2016. we know labour has had a hard time in brexit area since that vote, but an indication they are moving in the right direction. look what happened, conservatives down by 13, labour up by 11. we can go to stoke—on—trent next, a red ball seat. labour areas that the conservatives did well in the 2019 general election. the comparisons are with the 2019 local elections. once again, labourare doing well, taking the council from overall control to labour. once again, doing well in an area where it had a big leave vote in 2016, almost 70% leave. there

medway voted strongly for brexit, and has three conservative mps.brexit. but now it's something we do regret. i think we've been misled on that as well. the country, i think, has just come to a bit of a standstill in general. we need to speak out now before there is a general election, and let the government know how we feel. i personally think they have had their day, and it's time for a change. yeah, i think they've lost our votes. as she put out her bunting, julie told me she had voted for her local conservative councillor. this is very much a local issue for me. i've no idea how i'll vote next year. i like rishi sunak. i didn't like boris. i'm hoping they'll do a good job, but i think they don't do themselves any favours at all, the scandals and everything. so, i think it puts doubts in people's minds. sir keir starmer came to chatham at the start of the campaign, and he is celebrating here today. this corner of kent hasn't shown any enthusiasm for labour since the days of tony blair. but sir kier hopes he has found a winning message that can si

we will start on the kent coast looking at medway.bour managed to take from conservative control put up this had been a conservative council since 2003, labour haven't controlled it since 1998. that's all changed now. we saw in the report this is where keir starmer chose to go to celebrate put up an interesting thing to note about medway, look at the eu referendum result in 2016. 64% leave for that we know in years after brexit the labour party really struggled in areas that had backed brexit. perhaps that is starting to change now. very pole the mac pro brexit area but good result, their seats up by 11 compared to 2019, the conservatives down by 13. go to berkshire, windsor and maidenhead, slightly different story here because it's a lib dems that have done particularly well at the expense of the conservatives with this has been a conservative council since 2007. a very significant local mp, former prime minister teresa may of course a conservative mp but this council has gone liberal demographic that they needed 21 seats for a major

interestingly, keir starmer was in the medway towns recently., what our party saying? labour are happy, saying they have good machines, a good use of data, and they are hoping for what they describe as decent gains in middle england. they are standing by their view that a00 net seat gains would be good. the criticism of that is, well, that is fine, you will be the largest party in local government. that is not a general election winning number. their view is that whenjohn puts out the projected national vote share tomorrow, they will be very happy if they are eight points ahead of the conservatives. i don't want to put words in john's don't want to put words injohn�*s mouth, but i think we will hear that they need to be ten points ahead. their view is that that does not take account of their remarkable progress they think they are making in scotland, which means that they don't need to do quite so well in the rest of great britain. for the conservatives, they are saying this is a tough night for the conservatives, having been in power for 13 yea
