Although we didn’t get the overall result we were hoping for on Thursday, we would like to say thank you to everyone who voted Labour this year. Thanks to your support, many fantastic Labour Councillors were re-elected and we welcome Jessica Raspin and Sharon Kassim as newly elected Labour Councillors.
Commiserations but enormous respect and admiration to all our Labour candidates who didn’t get elected. Standing for election is an exhausting experience and the disappointment of defeat can hurt; but doing something you believe in, and giving countless hours of your time to deliver that message is something to take enormous pride from.
We will continue to work for Hull and campaign for a Labour majority on Hull City Council as well as a new Labour Government. Its clear to see that voters across the country have sent a message to the Tories that Enough is Enough. It’s time for a General Election to put an end to this heartless Conservative Government.
