Quote from The Sun:

The Labour Party is facing “one of its worst” results in the upcoming local elections, according to an internal report.

Months after the worst general election result since 1935, the party is set to lose strong hold councils like Sheffield, Plymouth and Harlow in vote simulations done internally.

The document warns the party is facing “one of our worst local election performances in recent history” in the vote next May.

The incoming Labour leader will have less than a month to reverse the predictions, with the memo bracing the loss of many “hard-working councillors.”

In one simulation the party could lose 418 councillors.

The report states: “Based on the 2019 General Election and the subsequent ‘bounce’ in the polls for the Tories, we fully expect to lose hard-working councillors and lose control of some councils.”

It adds: “Our predictive modelling points to substantial losses that may constitute one of our worst Local Election performances in recent history.”

The piece on the link above does say that a new leader may reduce the damage.
